I was given an old camera today and to my surprise there is a roll of film in it. I've never seen film like this, it's got a paper backing, which I can plainly see as there's a view-hole in the camera back to show the little tag that says "Exposed"
Now, I'm not sure exactly how old this film is, but the camera is a Baldixette, which I'm also not sure of it's age as the person who gave it to me came into possession of it through finding it in a vacant house he bought to tear down. There's no books with it, and even if there were I'm guessing it'd all be in German.
My question is, how old can film get before you simply shouldn't even bother attempting to get it developed anymore. As far as I can tell it is C-41 colour negative, just with a paper backing, and it's quite large, being at least 2.5 inches wide.
That's about all the info I have
Thanks
