Microdol-X cans

I depends. I have never seen a can of Microdol x. I have cans of D19 from 1965, with the hq and metol in a small plastic envelope separate with a wee bit of sulfite inside the can. If that is the case, then it might last a long time.

I think that I have a can or two left from a project I did when in sensitometry class, about 1976. They are 1-quart cans, and a bit rusty around the edges.

I have an empty one on my workbench, with small plastic "straws" in it, which I use for dispensing aerosol lubricants, like WD-40.

Search ebay. I got curious and did this, came up with 3 listings with pictures of cans of Microdol-X.
