I don't see a native american-- just an old man!

Haha ok I guess it was just the high cheekbones
My opinion.
I handle/ views thousands of antique images each week. I see a lot of famous people, african americans, native americans, cowboys, etc... 99% of the attributions that I see are bogus.
It is a popular marketing strategy on some online auctions/ sales venues, so be careful! There are a lot of scammers out there.

Ok thanks for the heads up
Glad to help and always willing to give my 2 cents if you are contemplating big $ purchases.
Did you buy these tintypes in the same album or have you been buying for a while? Is there any subject matter of particular interest?

Been buying for a while off of eBay and I just like collecting whatever catches my eye
Glad to have you on Collectors Weekly as well!
