My first thought was bulk film loaded at home.  The Tri-X I've been 
loading has no frame numbers on it.  But how likely is it that someone's 
rolling their own C-41 and getting it processed at a mini-lab?  From 
what I recall most labs won't touch bulk loaded film.

More than likely it's Chinese made film bought at a drug store or 
supermarket.  They all carry it around here, and every chain has their 
own name on it.
