Four tintypes in a collection of about fifty purchased at a Bangor, Maine show in 1990. I was told the folks in the tintypes were from the Bangor area, though I obviously can't confirm that.
This post concerns four tintypes of two different women, taken on the same day, I believe.
Below are two views of the other woman. Click on an image to enlarge it.

Two tintypes in the collection, not those above, have a backing that
identifies the studio that produced the tintype, both of them in Bangor, Maine. One is the studio of J. P. Merrill; the other is the studio of A. B. Farrar.
