Hello and Greetings To Antiquers.com

Glad to have found this board thanks to skeezix42 (Don) who directed me here. I buy/sell pre-1899 Photos of all kinds. I sell on eBay, Etsy and have a site dedicated to re-uniting photos back to families. Although I do have to charge for them as I pay a pretty good price for them myself. The site address is www.ancestryphotostore.com
Also, in my first post here I would like to see if anyone recognizes these uniforms. They are all from the same family. If anyone does, please let me know. Thanks again!!

 

Welcome, Jeff!

I saw your post of those pics on ebay the other day and did just a bit of digging, then got waylaid by life. Guess I should go digging again!

 

Hi Jeff, welcome! Those are some serious mustaches in those photos

 

Hi Jeff,

Welcome

 

DH said that the last man (at the right) in the bottom row is wearing a zouave uniform (short/er jacket and gathered pants) .

Here's a link the wikipedia regarding zouave uniforms -- look under the "Civil War" section to see some examples from the Civil War.

and a link to Merriam-Webster dictionary --

P.S. Welcome -- I (and DH) look forward to seeing other items which you have gathered.

 

Thanks everyone for the welcome and information. I will take a look at the links provided!!
