Dave Carhart Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I have 400 - 500 old B&W negatives of family photos. The oldest is my grandparents "courting" around 1912 those negatives are 85mm x 115mm. There is no markings on the edge of the film to identify them. anyone here know what film type they would be. Google wasn't able to answer it. It came pretty close with type 108, but not quite. the newer ones of me and my sisters growing up are either 116 or 616 film as the are slightly smaller in width. I've attached that picture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels - NHSN Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Sound like 9x12 cm See: http://www.earlyphotography.co.uk/site/sfs.html Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Carhart Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 that does look to be the one. looks like Kodak made a roll holder for this size in the early 1900's that could be put in a Kodak Brownie and give you 24 exposures.

john_shriver Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Is there some residue from glued paper on one of the short ends of the negative? That would indicate that they are from a film pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmac Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Possibly Kodak 118 roll film, the format ratio of the picture equates close to 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" for Kodak No3 folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
