Best described here by our illustrations as to condition and eye appeal, this unusual pair of Pat. 1862 sheet iron cart de visite frames house images of Capt. Burbank Spiller of Co. C 5th Maine Volunteer Infantry and his wife Lucinda (Lulu Spiller. While both photo mounts were trimmed to accommodate these scarce metal frames, both are backmarked by Portland, Maine photographer George M. Howe and both are period identified in what clearly appears to be Capt. Spiller’s hand. (see period example signature) Commissioned on June 24, 1861 as 2nd Lt. of Co. K of the soon to be hard fought 5th Maine Infantry, Spiller was promoted to 1st Lt. on September23, 1861 then to Capt. Co. C on June 15,1863. A pleasing pair of images of a Civil War man and wife pair, the rarely encountered patent frames will be of special interest to the period collector. Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales! Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques!
