old film
« on: September 29, 2011, 12:31:16 PM »
An EvilBay ad for film expired in 1921.... I know how many people here love old film.

I know this would be taking a big chance, with it being open and all.

Just for the record I am not the seller...

yeah even if it did work, i'd be worried about the fact that the inner package is open on the left side, and it's sitting out in the light. if it were still sensitive to light, that right there probably killed it.

the oldest film i've gotten results from is some 120 brownie film from around 1935 or so...
