Has anyone else found any vintage film boxes with Leica written on them lately?

Lucky you! I've found a couple of old FP4 and HP3 tins (bulk and refill) but nothing that old.
BTW, do you know this site: http://www.peterwallage.com/Photophernalia.htm
He covers Selo and the beginnings of Ilford and so on.

Nothing happens for ages and then out of the blue:
The oldest is the Dufayolor which is "Develop Before" June 1939 and the Agfa Isopan is May 1941.
The smallest are 8 exposures 24 x 36 and cost 79 old French francs.
But what are the Coronet V-35 and 888 for? I've opened one and there's two spools in it made by Dufay and labelled "ORTHO" with backing paper 37mm wide. Dated from the 50's and no clues at all; not even the number of exposures.
As an edit: half of these arrived this morning (10th) and the seller has others for sale. I was told they were part of the stock of an old shop and found in the cellar. The others for sale are at ebay and are item no. 140522128927

Sweetness David!
Vogue V-35 film for the Coronet "Vogue" Cameras
5x3cm format, with probably about 8 exposures per roll.

Film is the other way
I've a recent box from some Kodachrome. If anyone wants it I'll mail it flattened, because one end was already opened to get the cannister out. It can be reglued/fastened into it's original box format if you want to put it on a shelf
PM me with a mailing address. Cheers!

A man could buy a nice Leica with a lens for that kind of cash

I guess it's like stamp collecting, scarcity imparts some higher value than would be expected?

You guys are bad influence!!
Look what I got from the 'bay after re-reading this thread for the umpteenth time:
* sorry for the smartphone camera image.
All thanks to your enthusiasm about history that rubbed off on me
Notice that the two Tri-X box on the most front have 1958 and 1968 dates on it, it's amazing to see two complete box design ten-years apart. If I can locate 1978 - 2008 boxes, that would be something cool to display.

Damn, some folks have all the luck, and it includes processing, have you contacted Rochester yet to get the current address? ;-)
The disease is catching, someone bought a plain aluminum Agfa can (which was holding some parts of something?) for $2 at the last show.
I've asked some dealers to watch, but you guys are watching better.

Well-known
Before the familiar cardboard boxes, the first Zeiss Ikon 35mm film cartridges were sold simply wrapped in waxed paper. It is quite rare to find an unused 35mm daylight cassette refill (Tageslicht Kassettenfüllung) from the early 1930's. When I first found this roll, I was curious about its age. It was produced for the first Contax which appeared in 1932 but I was unclear as to how long the film had been sold in a simple green wax paper wrapper. According to the helpful people at Zeiss Ikon, these early refill cassettes were indeed simply wrapped in green wax paper. In 1934 Zeiss Ikon film was available in multiple grades and packaged in the more familiar individual boxes. So this dates the film shown here to 1932.
