And while I'm on the subject, I have an extremely small nick on a Canon Telephoto

lens, the skylight cracked and the glass chipped into the outter lens. Is there anyone

that knows where to get it repolished?

Also wanted to point out, the ONE BROWN BOX is actually ONE GRAY Box.. sorry for

the screwup.

I wanted to point out something, when I say the seals are broke I mean the BOX seal

or the outter paper package. ALL the paper is inside a black paper sleeve, turned in

upside down and put into the thick yellow paper on the outside. The small 4x5 boxes

have the seals broke on some but not on others. I other words, all the paper is as far

as I know, UNEXPOSED and has not seen light since my father last opened the paper

envelopes in his basement years ago with a safelight in the dark. He use to shoot me

and my brother and then develope in the basement.

As to the guy that mentioned the enlarger... I say it was "FRIED" as an expression. It

was VERY old and had not all of it's parts and was dropped once. I took it apart and

saw the big lens were fine but a FLAT peice of UNMAGNIFIED glass as in a 1/4 inch of

plain everyday glass was broken. I could easily have bought new glass but cutting it

into a circle would not have worked out to well.

Someone mentioned having it "SCANNED" to see if it's any good, I'm not sure what

that means. I would like however to have someone test one peice of paper from

EACH package to see if it's still any good as it just sat in my cool basement in the

dark for the past 40 years. I never bothered with it. I recently pulled out the white

porcelain trays with the blue band around the top edge as they are in mint condition

and I wanted to see what they'd go for on Ebay. I didn't see any and I figure they

aren't worth anything being vintage or not so I can't see selling them cheaply as I

imagine either porcelain trays are either no longer available or are expensive and not

worth selling unless they are worth anything as they ARE my Dad's and I'd hate to sell

something that belonged to him unless it was valuable. After all, if it only brings a

small price, why not keep it for rememberance. My father would tell me to sell it if it

was worth a lot though.

As to the paper, I have a 35mm SLR but I no longer develope myself and gave it up. I

have the negative tank and a few other things and really no longer going to use them.

I thought to sell them but they are not worth much either as well. So for pictures I

simply go to Walmart. I know.., you all just cringed right there... GET THE PADDLES!!!

WE JUST GOT A FLAT LINER HERE!!!

My father was a photographer when he was young just out of the navy. He died when

I was just 16 but he got me started with the interest in it back in 1972 or so. But I

really didn't get into it until college years later and I never took off with it but I have a

bunch of boxes of old film some still sealed and some with the seal cracked open and

inside, there is a secondary box and obviously the film. Is this old film worth anything

to a photographer that uses old style stuff? Here is some info off the

boxes.

Is ANY of this stuff that was in a box in a dark closet in my basement worth anything

or sought after by older photographers using dark rooms etc.? My Dad use to use a

Ziess Icon camera, a Roliflex, a browning, and a Minolta among other things. The

enlarger was fried so I trashed it years ago. I still have the Porcelain trays and the

metal crop mat that is old. Assorted things like Kodak glass beekers, metal funnels,

wooden tongs, etc. The photographic paper is listed below that I have. If anyone

knows if this stuff is worth anything give me an idea what it's worth. If it's junk I'll just

keep it, if it's worth money to a collector of old paper or if the paper is still useable

then I'd put it on ebay. An old friend about thirty years ago looked at it and said,

"WOW, Lance up the street would love to get his hands on that old paper." That was

years ago. See list below. Any help from anyone would be helpful. Thanks. Email me

at Bullschmidtaddy@hotmail.com if you know anything on the stuff below. THANKS!
