Topic: A good day

Picked up a fairly pristine No. 2 Brownie on the auction site a few weeks ago. It arrives in the mail and as is typical with the older Brownies, needs a bit of fiddling to get it to open up. I get the cartridge out and out of it falls an unopened box of 120 Verichrome Pan, expiration date..... November 1953.

It was like a really cool box of Cracker Jacks. Guess that makes up for the cracked macro filter I got a few months ago.

wicked!  Verichrome was meant to be a lovely film - not that I've ever used it or anything. A nice find indeed

I love it when stuff like this happens, albeit usually the film is exposed already. Best time it happened to me was when I got hold of my Mum's old Brownie (last used in the mid 50's) and found a partially exposed roll of Verichrome (I think). I got it developed and found some very degraded, almost ghostly snaps of my grandparents (both dead by then) that my mother had taken when she was a kid. Very strange experience for both of us.
