Going thru and clearing up old archive negatives of my dad from the 40's
Have a bunch of these very thin plastic negs that are a little larger than standard film holder 4x5 ~ 3 7/8" x 5 3/16"
No notch code.. no type of film stamp but on one end of the film is number, example 4, in the lower left hand corner.
Doubt if they went into film holders cause the film is so thin, in fact the scan below.. they would not lay flat on the glass.
Was there ever a roll film 4x5?
Any ideas.. just curious..
