P. Coffman, Sikeston, Stoddard County, MO on the back. The card was about the size of a business card. We would like to know if it is a photographer or a studio, and what years it was in business in order to date the tintypes. We believe them to be 1865-1875. _________________________________________________________________ Check out Election 2004 for up-to-date election news, plus voter tools and more! http://special.msn.com/msn/election2004.armx
