Unidentified

I would've called this portrait a tintype, but embossed into the metal it says: "Melaino type plate for Neff's Pat19feb56.

I think it says "56" at the end, it is hard to read. So this is not a tintype, it is a Melaino Type.

The face has been tinted, the jewelry painted gold.

No idea who this is or why she is in the Reeves Family Album.
