11366 26th Illinois Davis Brothers 1/6 plate tintype showing three of the Davis Brothers all in uniform. This has a piece of what appears to be a Canteen cover with writing on it. They are identified in the case bottom as the Davis brothers 26th Ill. I’ve included the HDS info on my best guess on their identities. There were two other Davis' in the company but both died in 62' so it can't be them (due to the tax stamps on the image). The soldier on the left has part of the head rest showing by his head. $550
