Tad photo?

[STS Lincolnite]

I have put together some images for comparison. I tried to attach them to this post but it didn't work. I am sending to Roger to post but here are the descriptions.

First are images of 3 facial crops. In order from left to right they are:
1) tintype purported to be Tad in about 1862 on Heritage Auctions
2) image of Tad in 1862 per LOC collection
3) image of Tad in uniform that Roger originally included for comparison

When viewed in more close-up form, the differences in appearance seem stand out more.


The second set are close ups of the left ear in each the images. In order from left to right they are:
1) tintype purported to be Tad about 1862 on Heritage Auctions
2) image of Tad in 1862 per LOC collection
3) image of Tad in uniform that Roger originally included for comparison

Though the general angle of the ear is similar, in the close ups one can more clearly see the differences in the contour of the outer edge of the ear on the tintype as compared to the known images of Tad.
