It was bought from a collector in New York. I have owned it for many years. It is in very good condition.
I bought it because of what I believe is a strong likeness to Billy the Kid. The Kid was from New York and wandered the west. The revolver is likely a Smith and Wesson from the 1870’s. The Kid died in the 1880’s (1881?).
I have not tested this tintype to compare it to a known photo of the Kid. I intend to. I an offereing it for sale as a photo with a lot of potential. I will post the results of any testing that I complete. It is clearly a photo of a young man who is headed toward a very short life with a sudden end. These tintypes were low cost photos (5 dents to 25 cents) that were taken by itinerant photographers all over America in the later half of the 19th century.

Lockman. The location of the large portrait is unknown to me. This painting is unsigned, I think, but has some identifying labels on the back. The painting is backed with plywood (?) and looks like it was varnished. There is quite a bit of information available on both the sitter and the artist. Start with the New York Public Library. $1200.00 or best offer

This articulated Christ figure was made in northern Mexico or southern New Mexico (El Paso?) in the 19th century. It has glass eyes and was made with articulated limbs. It displays the wounds of Christ and retains about 40% of its early paint. The remaining surface has been restored by in-painting with artists’ oil colors. No attempt has been made to conceal the restoration. The figure is 55″ tall and has a looming presence. I believe that this figure is associated with the Penetentes in northern Mexico and in New Mexico. This figure was found in Santa Fe about 15 years ago. I have owned it since.​

They are very heavy and finished with strong turning marks. Many candlesticks like these came out of Mexico in the 1970s. This pair has a wonderful repair on one of the turnings and to me this adds to the patina and romance of the objects.
