<div dir="ltr">I'm no expert on photography but, flexible photographic roll film wasn't invented until 1885. Safety film such as you would have worked with at Drug Fair didn't come along till 1908.

To survive 51 years stored undeveloped would be quite amazing.<div><br></div><div>g</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 4, 2017 at 6:13 PM, Janesta <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:janesta@gmail.com" target="_blank">janesta@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Gary,</div><div><br></div><div>When I managed Drug Fair's camera department, there were a few times very, very old film came in.</div><div>It developed pretty clear.
