This grouping was displayed in the Stone Mountain Relics Shop Museum along with other local Dekalb /Gwinnett County Georgia regiments artifacts loaned by local Dekalb & Gwinnett County families. This group was in the GA case for many years until the museum closed about 2000. Grouping belonged to my good friend Tom Aderholdt (1948-2024) who I last saw at my old partner's funeral January 21, 2024 in Stone Mountain. The images were of his family members as are the 35th Georgia reunion ribbons. He was avid collector and obviously had no family to leave material to. Tom never married and lived with his mother who died just weeks after his death. I could not have been more surprised when this grouping showed up for me to catalog. A Local Gwinnet County picker bought a portion of his Tom's residence where among other things were Tom's boy scout uniform, his uncle's navy P-coat, and some of Tom's reenactor gear. The ribbons are still in the case with reader board that SMR had made about 1990, the Confederate soldier images are missing their reader boards identifying them, but one is William T. Brown (likely bearded image) who served 1861-1865 and maybe more than one image are him. The 5 images are 1/6TH plate ambrotypes or tintypes:

1. Ambrotype of bearded infantryman, Mississippi Rifle, the top button at collar is Confederate block "I", cross belt with gilded round plate, belt has plain oval buckle, cap shows waterproof cover. Good overall, small chip in emulsion above top "I" button in beard. Original case is broken but all pieces intact.

2. Ambrotype, Jasper Webb, 35th Georgia, wearing homespun enlisted frock coat, 8 buttons are gilded, good detail and photographer may be same for the bearded soldier. This image has penciled name in back "Jasper Webb / Walton Co / Ga". Records show Jasper Webb died at Winchester in 1862 from disease. Good overall, few spots in emulsion unaffected subject. Case has a glued repair to hinge.

3. Ambrotype of infantryman, Musket with bayonet attached, tall slouch hat, wearing belt with "US" buckle upside down, cap box, cartridge box, bayonet scabbard. Image is poor, dark with some scratches & chips, case is complete, loose hinge.

4. Tintype of civilian who resembles one of the soldiers in this lot, fair to good overall, broken partial case.

5. Ambrotype of young man like all the images here. No casing, mat or protector, just loose image housed in old jewelry box.

6. Private William T. Brown's 35th Georgia ribbons including 1st 5 reunions 1885-1889 in Atlanta, Conyers, and Lawrenceville. These are the only 35th Georgia ribbons we could document. Fair to good overall. (02-24284/JS). NON-GUN. $4,000-6,000.
