Antique Tintype of Handsome Painter (?) in Overalls with Etched Order On Reverse vintage canvas bib equally in terms of form

equally in terms of form and fantastically aged surface

and I imagine made for a very specific purpose

Base of stand measures 2 3/16" x 2 3/16"

Box measures 5 3/4" x 4 1/2" x 5/8"

Quite wonderfully done

Antique Tintype of Handsome Painter (?) in Overalls with Etched Order On Reverse vintage canvas bib equally in terms of formI've been trying to figure out what the text scratched into the back of this tintype might indicate but don't have an answer. It looks like an occupational photo of sorts to me, with this handsome man in bowler and paint spattered overalls suggesting perhaps a painter to me or maybe the "bust" described on the back of the tintype refers to a sculpture, and our man works in plaster. Certainly it seems like a job that is being described "Order #240"
