A rare offering from our decades of collecting Manie images, (at age 81+ its time to reluctantly pare down) these images emanated from a small group of Maine Averall family tintypes. Each retains an early 1900’s gummed label identification by Ira Dunn Averill (1871-1933) the son of the subject of this of Benjamin Dunn Averill ¼ plate and William S. Averill shown in this 1/9th plate patriotically matted tintype. Both wounded at Spotsylvania Court House, Virginia with the hard fought 1st Maine Heavy Artillery we couldn’t bear to break up the brothers but will be offering other Averill family related Civil War tintypes from the group separately. (see our items: 63522 & 63523)

Brother William S. Averill mustered in as a Private of Co. I, 1st Maine Heavy Artillery on January 5,1864. He was wounded at Spotsylvania Court House on the same day as brother Benjamin.
