<p>There has been a lot posted on this site about rockymountainfilm, none very good. <strong>User beware! </strong> <br>

<a href="http://www.brownie-camera.com/">http://www.brownie-camera.com/</a> and other google searches for kodak film, vintage kodak film, and similar revealed that until the late 1930's or early 1940's film was listed by the camera it fit only. I could not determine if there was more than one type of B&W not. Newer film could be used in the older cameras if it was the correct format.</p>

<p>Update on mine. There is a paper tail taped to the trailing end of the film, about 3 inches long. On the lead of the paper, the original paper wrapper has Verichrome printed on it.<br>

And something that I did not expect, the tape is still sticky and the film is pink.</p>

<p>Regardless of whatever developer, temp, dilution, etc. you try I'd do a clip test. There are so many variables that affect film that old, you need to test it and fine tune the development. Good luck.</p>

<p> I finally got some time to develop mine. It did not turn out well, I believe part of it was the storage factor. When it first came out all I saw was black but after it dried I held it up to a light bulb and I think there might be enough to possibly get something with a scanner.<br>

HC110 Dilution B @64ºf for 20 minutes, water stop and fixed it for 20 minutes, 30 minute wash and hung it up to dry.</p>

<p>20 minutes.. that's a lot. I hope you can pull a good image from the scanner. We would all love to see them.</p>

<p>I have heard that Farmer's Reducer can thin them out a bit. Maybe someone here can advise?</p>
