It's from a large-format studio-camera, the type using film holders approximately 4"x5"/5"x7" in size or so, as I remember. It's somewhat brittle, has a crack in it and is pretty fingerprinted up by now and not in the best condition. It doesn't look like a copy from another print, more like it may be an actual genuine negative. If that's true, then it may be worth a lot!!!

Just curious, where did you get the photo you posted from? It may have come from another site/group I posted it on myself.

Yeah, we're spoiled by the internet. Back in the day, when you swapped photos and wanted a copy of a picture it involved a trip to the darkroom to make a copy. There weren't even Xerox machines.

I have no idea where I leached it. I do know I copy and pasted the info that is in my original message. Might get lucky googling it.
