You most likely have a ferrotype, but known by its more colloquial name,
tintype.

  Subject: Metalized aluminium. . . ?

Greetings all,

We're in the process of acquiring a print made in 1919 on "metalized
aluminium." What, fer gosh sakes, does that mean? And are there any
experiences, references, process notes, or tall tales about making metalized
aluminium prints?

Oh, and can this media be run through Epson 2600's or 7600's-- and with
dye or chrome inksets? (:~>) (Sorry, I couldn't help myself on that one.)

  Best to all,
  John
