G. Gennert Products

[wtburton]

According to one ebay seller, there were a few messages about the G. Gennert rainbow bulb that was just listed on Ebay. So, There must be at least one other fan of this awesome company out there!

Here is my collection. I also have some paper documents not shown, and nearly 50 upscaled and printed advertisements as well as some other digital documents.

Ensign Film- From Britain, purchased from Brazil, exactly the same as those that would have been sold by G. Gennert, I have two because that one had a stain on it and I wanted a perfect side for each graphic.
Huauffs Metol Imported by G Gennert , the first metol developer. Missing the golden cap seal but its filled with liquid.
G Gennert Superior Pyrogallic Acid tin, Sealed. I havent unwraped the paper but it looks like the image below.
G Gennert Superior Hydrokinone, half full but intact.
New Record Dry Plates, rare to find.
Hauff Modern Developers booklet with pictures of Hauff's chemicals. I really want a paper box of Hauff Aurdol.

I also am missing Imperial dry plates and Genco dry plates, but I have more than enough pictures to make reproductions.

If anybody else has G. Gennert products or info they would like to share, please do. I would love to see a fully scanned catalog of theirs but the ones online only have a few pages. Ugh.

Thats really cool! They sold developer tubes under the Montauk name too, there are a few listed on Ebay, but none from the "original" New York address like I want.

G. Gennert is new to me, but I'm fascinated by the packaging, illustrations, and the way products were promoted. My own collection of "ephemera" is mostly a mishmash of postwar items.
