Here’s another tintype I acquired. What is your opinion?I say there is not a single lady on this particular one. However, I could be wrong. I will state why I think the two women looking subjects in front are in fact male. You can click on the second photo for a large detail and tell me your own opinion.

I have a couple of photographs with a halo of sort on the face of the subject. It isn’t a stain but was taken like it. Maybe a defect on the actual photo paper? I’m not familiar with the kind of camera used for RPPCs. The black edge on the left is original of the photograph too and not from my scan.
Anyway, the gentleman on the right is sporting a long mustache, a boat captain hat (?) and a butterfly wing collar with a few rings. His friend (or brother?) is wearing an overcoat and short rimmed square top bowler.
This RPPC came from Estonia.
Extremely High Collar Wearing Man with Wife
I missed out on this one to get another, but it is well worth adding to this site. The gentleman is wearing a very high collar, and this looks like their wedding picture.
