Hi all,
I've been scanning a box of old negatives from an old box I have been handed.
Most of the photos are negatives are from the 70's. Some are black and White,
some are Colour.
Problem is that in the box I found an old roll of film still in it's canaster.
I can't tell if it has been exposed or not, but on the chance that it has photos
on it I want to get the best chance of developing it.
I took it to the local shop, but they wouldn't run it through their machine as
they can't tell if it is colour or B&W.
Most of the label is ripped of. The parts I can read are...
"ASA 125 DIN 22" "36 EXP VUES AUFN" "Made in England ILFORD".
There is also the bottom of a letter in blue which coulkd be the bottom of a '+'
sign or the bottom of the number '4'.
The rest of the label is ripped and I can't read any of it :(
Is there enough information from any of that to determine what it is?
Looking through the box of negatives I have been scanning, the only film with
ILFORD written on the negative is a few strip of B&W negatives "ILFORD HP4"
I am guessing that because it is ILFORD and that the only other ILFORD in the
box were B&W that it probably is, but I want to give the film the best chance
possible of making it to a picture :)
Any advise welcomed.

Thanks for the assistance guys. I friend recommended another lab, and taking it to them they were pretty sure from looking at the casing that it was a b&w film that they recognized. They are sending it away to their Christchurch lab, as our local labs no longer develop b&w, and if the film was ever exposed and if anything survived I should know about this time next week.
Once again thanks for the assistance.
