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.

This one did not scan well. The process made the dark parts look like silver, so I toyed with it some. Does anyone out there know the pin he’s wearing? I’m guessing a fraternity by other examples I’ve seen.

An adult wrote the date on the back in pencil, then below it a toddler (I strongly assume) wrote it again, also in pencil. :)

This man is so ‘pretty’ he looks like a doll. His wide eyes stare into the distance while the women are looking directly into the camera.

My first tintype. This couple blows my mind they are so beautiful together. And her hat! Who were they? Where was this taken? He seems self-assured, she looks a bit weary. Long day at the fair?

This lovely boy is wearing a double breasted knickerbocker suit with his Kipa. The pose is fantastic.
