Julio Fernandez Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Instructions for magnesium photography, around 1915 (in Spanish). “AT NIGHT, with utmost ease and with no preparation you can take beautiful pictures with magnesium. Just press the release and touch with a match a magnesium capsule that costs $ 0.20. It is the most practical method for children photography. Do a test and you will be convinced that this procedure is even simpler than daylight photography. ASK FOR INFORMATION.” 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Snell Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Actually built one of these in 1954 - the lamp housing was 2 child's aluminium pisspots - a box to hold condenser and a helicoid to focus the lens from my pre-war Robot (in lieu of bellows) purchased from Wallace Heaton's. Needless to say it was a complete flop. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin McAmera Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 'Made in Germany', not 'West Germany'. Here's my best: I bought this some years ago, with some film in it. The film is in one of my bulk loaders, and I know I've shot some of it, but I can't remember how it was. I have searched for 'panchromatic film for walking snaps' on the internet without success. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 This very tidy old Weston Master II exposure meter arrived yesterday with some other odds and ends. It's functioning and still accurate, as are the other old Westons I have. Stuffed into the box with the meter were all these other little bits and pieces, that brought back a few memories for me! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels - NHSN Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 A stack of post First World War Agfa Brovira Brilliant photographic paper. Produced somewhere between 1925 (where Agfa joined the I.G. Farben conglomerate) and 1945 (where the allies dissolved the conglomerate). No expiry date markings. 5 Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels - NHSN Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I am not sure when Ilford changed their logo font to the Futura Bold we know today. If I recall correctly, by the time I first ventured into the darkroom in 1977, Ilford had already changed the font. The box below is probably from the 60's. There is no expiry date but the Copenhagen dealer stamp reveals a 4 digit phone number. I think Copenhagen phone numbers had changed to 6 digits by the 70's. Based on the handwritten price sticker (15.55 DKK), this box of 100 sheets of 9x13cm paper would have cost the equivalent of €17.50 (130,00 DKK) today when adjusting for inflation (since 1969). 5 Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
