One box of unused Kodak Verichrome Film, marked Develop before S-Nov. 1939
Made in the United States of America by Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y. 8 exposures, 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches, Film V116
This 70-year old box of film is in fine condition – one end is sealed, the other end is open. The film is inside its silver foil lined paper wrapper.. There are slight bends, stains, scuffs, a slight tear, and a handful of pencil notations on the box. Perhaps these 8 pictures were shot but never developed – this mystery roll of film could be a goldmine for Kodak camera collectors and/or the found photo collector. 3 1/4 x 1 1/2”
The 1930s were exciting years in the history of photography – here are some key Kodak milestones:
1931 - Tennessee Eastman began marketing its first cellulose acetate yarn in the textile field. ܶ Kodak introduced KODALITH Film and Plates, which replaced the collodion wet plates used in the graphic arts industry. ܶ KODAK VERICHROME Film was introduced offering greater latitude and finer grain than the KODAK NC (Non-Curling) Film that had been the standard since 1903. ܶ Kodak bought the Nagel Camera Company in Stuttgart, Germany. This became Kodak A.G., which for decades served as an equipment manufacturing site for Kodak. Another German factory in Koepenick was lost in the division of Germany after World War II.
1938 - The first camera with built-in photoelectric exposure control was developed - the Super KODAK Six-20 Camera.
1939 - Kodak added a READY-MOUNT Service for 35 mm KODACHROME Film. This made it possible to project slides as soon as they were received from a Kodak processing laboratory. ܶ The company began a program of annual fellowship grants to colleges and universities throughout the nation.
