He called it a Melainotype. They were on a heavier, thicker metal than the later tintypes, and of a finer quality. A rival of Neff's, Victor Griswold, patented a similar process in Oct., 1856, which he called a Ferrotype. Although Neff's patent predated Griswold's, the name Ferrotype won out in popular usage, before they were generally called "tintypes"Comes in case (shows wear as photographed)Dimensions as photographedCondition:Antique: This is an antique item that shows use and wear commensurate with age as photographed.
