Original Freestyle B&W 120 Film

[epp]

Around 25-30 years ago, I purchased generic 120 B&W film from Freestyle (pre-Web days). The attached photo shows how it was presented. As I have more recently shot 20-year-old B&W (Foma and Kodak) with decent results, this film might actually still be good.

Does anyone recognize or remember it and perhaps know who its manufacturer might have been?

Thanks in advance.

It might be easier to identify if one is opened.

Most likely Ilford. I used to shoot this film. I remember the tape at the end of the roll
having the words "Exposed Ilford Film" printed on it,

They did, for the "Arista" film. I think they sold it as "Arista Professional"
The Arista papers were made by Kentmere.

They also sold ORWO films and papers under the name "Germany's Finest".

Agree with the opinions that it is Ilford. But I do not remember if they called FP4 Arista 125 in roll film sizes. In sheet film, it was Arista 100.

I used a lot of Arista 100 8x10 sheet film....smelled, looked, barked, and printed like FP4+...I still use the modern Ilford FP4+ at 100 ISO.
