Frank Newell Libby and two friends
The relaxed trio. Private Collection.
I could find much information about Frank Newell Libby, thanks to his name and birthdate affixed to the back of this 1/6th plate tintype.

RPPC. Private Collection

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.
Two Drinking Friends
Tintype
Two friends posing together toasting to a beer. This tintype is available on eBay. A great tintype for any collector.
