Can anyone suggest a likely date range for this film, please?

Found in a Kodak Six-20 Senior made circa 1939, but presumably later as the speeds on the sticker look to be ISO/ASA, and the camera was well used. It's Verichrome rather than Verichrome Pan.

Currently sitting in 1:100 Rodinal, so I'll see what, if anything, comes out.

ETA looks as though I have 5 frames of kids with grandparents (just the sort of thing your Box Brownie was made for) - hopefully I can scan through what's pretty dense fog.

Looking at the brylcreemed hair and collars, I'm thinking 1950s, and the woman's clothes confirm that. It's also obviously parents rather than grandparents - that was a guess holding the film up to the light!

While they are hardly Lee Miller, I'm always fascinated by being able to retrieve a latent image after 70-odd years.

Nice to see dad making sure the little one gets some fresh air! Hopefully, in general, we have improved that.
