Handsome Man with Handlebar Mustache, Early Tintype

I just couldn't resist this handsome fellow with handlebar (or almost) mustache. It's a tintype, and I believe a pretty early one, which has something of a ruby color to it (I've photographed in a couple of lights.) It has got some bends and dings as I've tried to capture too, though I don't think they detract but rather just add to his presence.

2 7/8" x 2 3/8" with bends and a little loss to image, as documented.
