I've had a search on other threads to see if this has been asked previously, but couldn't find anything helpful regarding older sheet film notch identification and was hoping someone here might have table/s that relate to older sheet film. I have a list of sheet film notches from 1950 onwards, but haven't been able to find any that are dated earlier, which hampers research on vintage films considerably.
This particular film dates from the early 1920s, and I'm fairly certain it is *not* Kodak, as it doesn't have Kodak printed anywhere along the edges and the notches don't match; their Nitrate films have a V notch on the RHS. The information I have been able to find elsewhere, doesn't match this particular notch code, so I'm beginning to wonder if it may be Ilford (I haven't been able to l locate a chart for their film).
It was shot in South Australia, so could possibly be Ansco, but again, the codes I have found don't match. The photographer has shot quite a bit of this brand of film in 5x4 as well - this sheet though is 5x7.
Any ideas where I might find such tables? Older almanacs, books etc? For the record, it is cellulose nitrate film, which may narrow down the manufacturer, but for now, I'm stumped.
