I found Exposed film in a 1935 camera. Can it be saved?

That's such a good find! I can't believe the film was still in there. Too bad there's no way to find out a back story to the camera. Nice work reviving the film!

[@ThisOldCamera]

That would be cool! But such a fun find

[@siskokidd]

Really nice! A number of them are print worthy. Even a composite of the best onto one large print. I have collected quite a few prints, negatives and slides, from estate sales, "antique" shops. Without knowing the people photographed, all you have is what you see to create their story. Lots of fun!

Amazing. It will be even more amazing if someone takes the time to really anaylze these images and actually identifes where or what game this was! Such a wonderful find, would love to know the story behind the pictures.

So interesting! Here’s a tower of “ifs” that, were they true, would answer a long-standing question: “Did Babe Ruth ever bat right-handed?”. I don’t think this is true, but let me show my work anyway. (This is all based off of googling the past 2 hours). 1935 was Babe Ruth’s final season - and he only played the first few games. It’s REALLY hard to see enough detail to get a good guess at which stadium this is (and if I had to put money on it, I would say this was either a minor-league game, or an exhibition), but I think there’s enough there to rule out a few of them, and since Babe only played at 3 fields this season, I’m leaning towards this being his home field: Braves Field. If you got a fancy new camera and you wanted to photograph something momentous, maybe you try to get pictures of the most famous player of all time - even if he’s just been traded and is clearly near the end of his career. Another “if” - if these images are in a particular order, then maybe from your spot above the left side dugout you get to see Babe’s face for his at-bats… until his final at bat where he switches to his right side, and then you get a shot of his historic number 3.

If only that "if" were true

I think this is a DIY filmspool. You would buy a couple of these and a spool of 30 mtr. of 35 mm film and you could cut and load your your own films. If I’m not mistaken Ilford made it and maybe other manufacturers also.

People bulkload film now. I do it. Film prices are very high so this saves a bit.

Curious: why did you ask them to push it two stops?

[@markgoostree6334]

I tried with film from the mid '60's. I know it was just sitting in a drawer in my parents bedroom. The results were less than OK. From three of the rolls there were maybe three pictures that I could tell who it was. I have six or eight more but it just doesn't seem reasonable to spend the money. I may get them to try on three more rolls... grasping at straws!

[@ThisOldCamera]

If you didn’t already you could have the lab push the film 3 stops, and even do a snip test. They pull about 8/9 inches of film and just process that. See if there’s anything there before the full process. But I feel you on the lost cost if there’s nothing left

[@SteveM45]

What was on the other film?

[@johnyoung1606]

When You opened the camera, You let it open so long that You fogged the film (even a little is not good) !!!!!!! Then You had them Push the film (That added to the over exposure of the film) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HMMMMMMMMMMMMM :( :( :( All Basic Film Photography STUFF

[@petemc5070]

Nope.
