1877 CDV of a Man IDed on the Reverse as Arron Webster, taken at Eastport, Maine; possibly Aaron Webster

Carte de Visite, CDV, of a young man identified on the reverse as Arron Webster, possibly Aaron Webster. The identification notes that the photograph was taken at Eastport, Maine, in 1877.

He has an intriguing pin on his vest.

There's always the possibility that Arron was the person meant to receive the photograph, not the man depicted.

Arron or Aaron may have been an Eastport resident or from the area, on either side of the US/Canada border, or he may have been just passing through on the well-used sailing and steamship routes.

Interestingly, there was an Aaron WEBBER, born about 1852 in Lubec, Maine, a mile or so across the water from Eastport, but he was born about 1815, and it doesn't appear he had a son of the same name.

If you have a theory as to the identity of the man in this CDV, please leave a comment.
