RE: Many are Cold, Few are Frozen

[jeremy.kime@bbc.co.uk (Jeremy Kime)]

I got to know an old leica user before he died, although we were never close 
enough for his daughter to pass on his cameras to me she asked me to clear 
out his darkroom. Amongst the stuff which had no real resale value I ended 
up with a few curiosities.
Like an unused E2 developing kit!
Two rolls of 12ASA kodachrome along with those old yellow drawstring cloth 
sacks for mailing.
1956 dated Adox KB14 roll.
Loads of unexposed glass plates, mostly 6x9 size and paper too, the most 
impressive being 3 packets of WW2 Navy paper sealed in waxed cloth packets!
And finally 30 episodes of the Leica News and Technique magazine that Leica 
UK published during the late 30s.
Nice to remember him by.

In the case was a roll of ILFORD HPS 400, expiry date, "July 1957!" A roll
of film 40 years old still in the orginal yellow and green box and the
price marked, $1.20. Aaaaaaah them were the days for a good price! :)

No I'm not going to try it, as it's well on it's way to being a museum item
along with the camera. Besides I think it's more interesting to have it
intact rather than using it.

Makes for an interesting conversation piece.
