Wyomingguy Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 This 19th century cabinet card has a Mainz photographer back stamp. I am guessing with the random wear pattern and the unusual headgear that this is fraternal although I could be easily persuaded that it is theatrical. The medals are quite extensive and one does wonder what the backstory is. Any thoughts?
paul wood Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 They look like various society medals for which the germans were famed p
Wyomingguy Posted November 18, 2020 Author Posted November 18, 2020 It is an impressive quantity. I am curious as to the random nature of their placement. I guess I would have arrayed them in nice rows. LOL
Eric Stahlhut Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 headgear, moustache, medals, all equally impressive!

Wyomingguy Posted November 23, 2020 Author Posted November 23, 2020 Really fascinating and I am sure that many medals was quite the chick magnet
