Sixth Plate

TIE SO BLUE. And cherry red cheeks too! Along with gold paint on that long watch chain. I really think that this fellow was more comfortable at his workbench performing a trade. Look at his battered and bruised fingers. I give him credit though; he cleaned up nicely, combed his hair and did smile for the retaped sixth plate. Better than many folks who sat before the camera. Rainbow lines of patina flowed above and below the man. There are a couple teeny mat marks on an otherwise exceptionally well aged mirror displayed in a leather case that is missing the cover.
