Rotwang Posted May 24, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 24, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I bought these "Leica bakelite box" incl. the paper folders. In my opinion the box is for negatives or maybe pictures? I didn't found any information within my literature like the Leica-Code? So maybe someone can help? Thanks Welcome, dear visitor!

luigi bertolotti Posted May 24, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 24, 2013 Curios item... what are the two round things that are visible on the cover's "ceiling" ? They have the look of film reels... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotwang Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted May 24, 2013 Hi Luigi You can rotate the thin metal cover over the middle axis. Behind the metal sheet seems to be some kind of paper or tissue? I do not know what this is. In fact it seems that the box was never used. Even the paper folders are not marked yet? Thanks Joerg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted May 24, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 24, 2013 Maybe the paper in the top of the box is moisture absorbing? Presumably the file envelopes are for strips of four negatives, although until the last 20 yrs or so I think most storage systems were for strips of 6 Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
