Default new acquisition - tintypes from machines?

Posted By: runscott

This folds in half, with the tin-type inside. I've never seen one of these, but I'm guessing you put money in a machine, picked a "body" (this guy picked the New York baseball player - note "New York" is backwards), then your tiny tintype popped out and you put it in the frame and added the piece of paper backing. Totally a guess - any ideas?
