Cartão Mustache Tintype

Man with mustache antique American tintype .This man's photo is included in the thick, vintage collection of tintypes and photographs handed down for generations in our family. He is identified as Ed Rulong. Maybe someone will spot an ancestor by seeing this picture. The elaborate flower design is some type of overlaid photographic procedure and is not a design on his clothing. Online research seems to indicate that the Rulong family was originally in the Virgina and West Virginia area, and many Rulongs are buried in the First Street Cemetery of Moundsville, West Virgina. These include: Rulong, Aaron, 1857; Rulong, Ida May, 1875; Rulong, Margaret, 1878; and Rulong, William H., 1872
