PLEASE VIEW IMAGES OF ACTUAL ITEM WITH MAGNIFIER FOR CONDITION AND ASK QUESTIONS.A tintype, also known as a melainotype or ferrotype, is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal coated with a dark lacquer or enamel and used as the support for the photographic emulsion. Tintypes enjoyed their widest use during the 1860's and 1870's. Tintype portraits were at first usually made in a formal photographic studio, but later they were most commonly made by photographers working in booths or the open air at fairs and carnivals, as well as by itinerant sidewalk photographers. Because the lacquered iron support (there is no actual tin used) was resilient and did not need drying, a tintype could be developed and fixed and handed to the customer only a few minutes after the picture had been taken. The tintype photograph saw more uses and captured a wider variety of settings and subjects than any other photographic type. It began losing artistic and commercial ground to higher quality albumen prints on paper in the mid-1860s, yet survived for well over another 40 years, living on mostly as a carnival novelty. They are highly collectible today.BID WITH CONFIDENCE ~ 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK ~ THOUSANDS OF EBAY TRANSACTIONS! ~ OVER 25 YEARS SELLING ON EBAY! ~ VISIT OUR EBAY STORE!PLEASE VIEW IMAGE AND EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS !BUY IT NOW IS PAY FOR IT NOW ~ AUCTION PAYMENT DUE AT AUCTION CLOSE
