A few years ago my mother gave me a bunch of loaded slide magazines she picked up at a second-hand shop. When I first started digging into them I noticed a large amount of faded-to-magenta Ektachrome and figured there wasn't going to much of value left in the exercise of going through it all.
But then I came across the Kodachromes.
All were still in excellent condition - no fade, perfect color. I had a hunch the slides were dated sometime around the mid-70s, but it wasn't until I took them out of the slide holders that the date stamp was revealed: these were 51 year old slides I was looking at. I have no idea who the photographer is nor what kind of camera was used, but this is like holding jewels from another generation.
