    Hello. My dad gave me some old tintypes, and I've long wondered what the purpose of the equipment/machinery or whatever it is that he is standing next to.

      If you look at it close...it looks like the back of a chair to me?

      Agree! Odd chair, but a chair.

      Looks like it is just a chair but an interesting style.

      The guy also looks interesting — thanks for not saying it’s Wyatt Earp or Bat Masterson!
