PPCDV292. CHECKERS! Collection of 13 CDVs, all identified. These images are identified on CDV page mounts. I removed them from the mounts to scan them and I wrote the names of the people on versos. The CDV mount pages will be included in the lot. The highlight of the lot is an image identified as J.C. Lanford & Amelia and they are playing chess. There is another CDV of Lanford with “Nantucket May 1866” on verso. You should be able to read the names of the other sitters from the scans. Photographers include: Allen, Boston (2); Bierstadt Bros., New Bedford (3); Geo. F. Parlow, New Bedford (2); Marshall, Boston (2); E.S. Dunshee, New Bedford (1); Silsbee, Case & Co., Boston (1); Horton, Boston (1); and one profile gem tintype without a backmark. One cdv has a tax stamp. Five of the CDVs and the gem tintype have been trimmed. A most interesting grouping worthy of further research to uncover what connects these folks. G-VG. $100
