Texas Jack Sideshow Boy Very Rare Or One Of A Kind CDV Photo 1860s Tax Stamp china however under magnification I doOriginal, very early CDV of Walter H. Stuart, AKA Texas Jack the One Armed Whittler. Walter was born in 1850, and the tax stamp dates this to between 1864 1866, so this is a very early (one of a kind?) photo of him. It is 4" x 2. 5" and in very good antique condition.
