Very cool! I'll scan anything I get off these films and post it here later.

Years ago (2009) I found two rolls of old Fuji color, best guess being ca. 2001-ish, which had been sitting in a cool cellar store room for about 5 years.
I asked the folks here for an opinion on if it would be worth using and most said it should be near-normal. I tried one roll, fortunately on nothing really important.
The results were tres disappointing! I discarded the other roll.

So, I shot a roll of the Fotomat this morning and developed in B&W chemistry, it is 100% opaque.
Of the 2 35mm, the Kodak can just had a cut off end inside, the Ansco I developed in Ilfosol-3 for 12.5 minutes. It has images but is very dense and fogged, I'm going to let it sit in fixer for a while and see if it will lighten up any.

Right, C22 processing is expensive as only a few people will do it. I bought a bunch of antique cameras last Summer for my collection. One was a Starflash with film in it. I developed it B&W and it came out very good. The photos were from the late 60's, as I gave a set of prints to the people I bought the cameras from. They identified the birthday party on the photos.

I took this one apart today and fixed a sticky shutter, I intend to modify some 120 film and use it.
My first camera in 1974 was my Mother's Brownie 127, she developed a monster when she gave it to me, I've been clicking shutters since then.
That's the camera! It brings back a flood of feelings just to see an image of it!
No need to modify your 120 film to use in your Brownie Holiday, you can buy Size 127 film at Freestyle. Here's the link:

Thank you, I'm going to order some, the camera is fun, takes you back to the bare bones of photography! Now I just have to fix the flash, I have several bulbs for it.

Panatomic X, I don't know the expiry, but the roll had a long leader, do probably sometime in the '60's or '70's. The best looking negatives that I have ever produced.

Black and white film can hold up quite well.

Color film, the slow emulsions age well.

I "stand processed" some B&W film that was exposed in the mid-1960's that I found in an old camera. It came out really grainy, and pretty high contrast, but it was cool seeing images that were taken 50 years ago and that had not been seen by anyone over all those years.

Here is a 'mid-60s' found film (photo) from a plastic camera that was given to me. Plastic camera found films are the worst because light does get through plastic over time:
Not that anyone will ever use it: this is 50+ year old Verichrome Pan film in a found Kodak StarFlash (127). I developed at 65 degrees, 16 minutes, HC-110h, normal agitation. These look like about 1963-65.

The Ansco film is now dry, and rolled into a VERY tight tube, I have cut it into sections and have it in an archival sleeve flattening under some books, in a few days I should be able to get some decent scans, in the meantime I did get these by scanning through the sleeves.

After posting these on a local Facebook group, we have now dated them to 1948-1949 and have the address where they were taken, the hunt is on for the family.

Be sure to post the results here from using that film in your Brownie Holiday. I'd sure love to see the images.
It was definitely a bare bones type of camera. As I recall, there was nothing to prevent double exposure like there is on more modern cameras. As a result, I accidentally double exposed a few frames. Ouch! But, if truth be known, as a 9 year old I loved that camera.
