I received a Kodak Vigilant Junior Six-20 folding camera for Christmas, a gift from my mother-in-law. She told me her father gave it to her in 1950.
To everyone's surprise, there was a roll of Kodak Verichrome film in the body, rolled and tightly sealed with the "Exposed" label. Odd thing was, it wasn't on the take up side, but on the hinge side where an unexposed roll would've been placed.
All that said, mom-in-law is eager to know what, if anything, may be on the film. I'm not set up to do color in any shape or form, much less 60 year old 620 film!
Is there a lab (or person) that anyone knows of that still does 620?
Thanks!

Some of the old cameras are loose enough that they'll take modern 120 spools, or spools can be filed or sanded down to size. If you have some 620 spools you can simply re-spool modern 120 film onto them in a darkroom and they'll work fine. There's also a place which sells film re-spooled onto 620 spools, but it isn't cheap... Finally, some 620 format cameras can be modified to take standard 120 film spools. You have lots of options.
