- Description
- Box of one dozen 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 glass Seed’s Dry Plates with cut paper adhesive tape around the edges and bottom and manufacturer details printed on a pale green background throughout the lid. These dry plates were invented by M.A. Seed in 1879 and became very popular with photographers as the plates came pre-prepared with the emulsion layer already applied - prior to “dry” plates, photographers would need portable dark rooms in which they would create their liquid emulsions prior to taking a photograph [known as “wet” plates]. Seed’s dry plates still required they be opened in a dark room, but this could be accomplished in the field by placing a dark sheet over the camera while loading and unloading the plates. In 1902, Eastman Kodak purchased Seed’s company [Seed Dry Plate Co.], but continued to capitalize on his name due to its reputation among consumers.

The razors sit in designated slots, some spaced on the right with small pieces of wood, with the days of the week embossed in gold on leather down the left-hand side.

SCHLAG N.Y.” etched on one side and “EXTRA FINE MADE IN GERMANY” on the other. Handle with care, razors are very sharp.

- Description
- One box of a dozen 9x12cm Eastman Commercial Panchromatic Films - unopened. The box has a large paper label on the lid containing the manufacturer and development details throughout, as well as “9.80” written in pencil at the top. The edges and bottom of the box are sealed with brown paper adhesive tape, the right-hand side is stamped with “DEVELOP BEFORE APRIL 1923.”Panchromatic film is a kind of black-and-white emulsion that is sensitive to all visible light wavelengths and creates realistic photographs - it could also be used successfully for colour and black-and-white motion pictures as early as 1913. One downside to panchromatic film was that it had to be developed in complete darkness as it was sensitive to the red lights standard in many darkrooms.
