Older negatives can be very brittle, especially if they were stored in a
warm attic. I would get my hands on a slide copier or a light table and
macro lense and make copies of the negatives. That way nothing gets ruined
from to much ahndling. But anyhow, the dull side should be emulsion.

You'll have a great time with these btw. some of these images may have
historic/commercial value outside your immediate family.
Please be careful with these negatives, they are going to be a bit brittle.
good luck!

Hello...
This isn't really on the issue of "pinhole" persay.
When my grandmother found out I am doing BW
photography and pinhole, she brought out a whole book
of negatives from the late 19th century that my great
uncle took while in Europe. She asked if I could make
them in to pictures for her.
Thanks! I have the book on the shelf and will go from there. Mark

I hesitate to reopen an old discussion, but I'll do it
anyway. I've found an inexpensive source for a pocket
comparator & reticle inserts to check the sizes of
pinholes:

Hey Tom, isn't 'antique' for 1990's stretching it a bit? Seriously, sounds
to me like (a) some non-archival glue leached through the back and made
those spots, or (b) they were not fixed and washed properly. The metallic
stuff is probably deteriorating RC paper.
