Your prints are ready sir...

Found this prints and negatives envelope in father in law's stuff awhle back. The prints were long gone but I finally got around to scanning the negs. They were on 116 rollfilm, probably shot on his folding Kodak 116 which I have. The 35 cents processing cost seems ridiculously cheap but that would get you 2 loaves of bread and a quart of milk in 1939. The advertised cost of enlargements and hand tinting put these services into the near luxury class.

The Kodak works smoothly and is a handsome critter with art deco trim. Bellows is completely shot. Making a new one and hopefully getting the camera back in service is on the project list.
