i have an ancient brownie, its got wooden spools and everything, with some film in it.
i rolled out the film a bit and the patent is about 100 years old. its been exposed, so there may be some pictures on the film. is there any chance that i can get to them? and if so which dev and fix etc would anyone suggest? the only marking that may indicated what type of film it is
the box seems light proof, so 'in theory' it should be fine, right?
if not, its no big deal, i may just use the camera, as the lens is clean and the mechanisms are working ok, and i got it as a gift from my aunt who knows nothing about cameras she just know that i like them.
