The '''Mandel-ette''' of the [[Chicago Ferrotype Co.]] may have been one of the reasons why the [[ferrotype]] process remained popular even in the early 20th century. The camera could be loaded with a special [[tintype]] postcard at daylight, and after exposure the card had just to be transferred into the development tank attached to the camera were the photo was finished within one minute. That was as fast as Dr. Land's [[Polaroid]] process which was invented much later. Costs for one 2½×3½" photo were just ca. 1½ US-Cents. It was delivered in an outfit with 16 postcards which cost 5 US-Dollars. "Outfit No. 2" was with [[tripod]] and material for 116 postcards. Its price was 7.75 US-Dollars. |

The Mandel-ette of the Chicago Ferrotype Co. may have been one of the reasons why the ferrotype process remained popular even in the early 20th century. The camera could be loaded with a special tintype postcard at daylight, and after exposure the card had just to be transferred into the development tank attached to the camera were the photo was finished within one minute. That was as fast as Dr. Land's Polaroid process which was invented much later. Costs for one 2½×3½" photo were just ca. 1½ US-Cents. It was delivered in an outfit with 16 postcards which cost 5 US-Dollars. "Outfit No. 2" was with tripod and material for 116 postcards. Its price was 7.75 US-Dollars.
