Found Film - Ansco Clipper

Inspired by Gene M http://www.westfordcomp.com/ when I found an exposed roll of Kodak Verichrome Pan 616 size in an Ansco Flash Clipper in a Colorado Springs antique store I decided to try developing it. Six-sixteen film is about a quarter-inch too wide for my plastic 120 reels, so I wadded the film up into the developing tank. I couldn't find development times for Verichrome in Ilfosol (all I've used in my 12 months of home developing). But D-76 at 8-12 minutes seemed to have good results elsewhere on the web. So comparing D-76 times to Ilfosol times for known films I guestimated 11 minutes. Among the totally over and underexposed frames, here are the frames that yielded results.

Interesting.

 

Looks like somewhere in the Midwest at times, with the corn and the helicopter.

 

Nice car - 1950s, maybe? Early 1960s?

Ha ! That kid got hold of the camera and produced most of the shots. Good job Robert.

The helo is rigged as a crop duster. I didn't know they did that in the 60's... My two-horse town used an old guy and a biplane and that was in the early 80's.
