Summary
Alternative Name(s): Film Cassette; Film Roll or Roll Film.
Kodak Verichrome Safety, 127 format film cartridge. This type of film was manufactured from the 1910s until the 1980s, but judging by the wax seal, this is likely an earlier example.
This product is part of the Kodak collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down.
Kodak manufactured and distributed a wide range of photographic products to Australasia, such as film, paper, chemicals, cameras and miscellaneous equipment. Its client base included amateur and professional photographers, as well as specialist medical and graphic art professionals who used photography, x-ray and other imaging techniques.
Physical Description
Film wound on black metal spool. Film is wrapped in protective pink and blue paper, and sealed with a black and red Kodak Verichrome sticker seal.
