Tintype: a cheaper way to print photographs,
by developing them on a sheet of tin or iron
-gives the photo a cheaper, lower-quality look to it
also called ferrotype or stannotype
"Not on Your Tintype"
an expression used in the early 1900's
meaning; No way! ; Not a chance!
In Music Man, a musical set in 1912, the expression is used
It is a line of Charlie Cowell- a traveling salesman who sells anvils
Used when he is stating-to Marian Paroo- that he doesn't trust her,
and would rather go tell someone else to spread the word and miss his train,
than leave word with her
