The "Please Don't Take My Kodachrome Away - Part III" Story

It was an ordinary day. Finishing adding some pictures of the Kodak accessories that I have been collecting for years. Yesterday I published photos of some of the cameras in my collection and will finish the 3-day story with the accessories. It is very hard to place a date on many of the items pictured below. I search and search for some of the items, but yet never find something that matches what I own. The photos below represent a small part of the collection, but some of the more interesting items are featured. Hope you enjoyed my love of Kodak cameras and accessories and also my story from two days ago about my experiences teaching one of my hobbies as well as loves, photography. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

This Kodak Film Tank consists of the light-tight wooden box for loading your film onto the spool on the right. Then, in the dark you would take the loaded film from the box and place it in the stainless tank in the rear. It is circa 1905 to 1907 and is very rare. I just saw one on Ebay going for $89.
This ad came from a magazine in 1907. It illustrates a man using the above developing tank.

This kit came in a metal light box that was meant to illuminate negatives and expose for printing. Inside was a small red safelight, graduate with stirrer, set of three plastic trays for making prints, therometer, chemicals and photo paper along with a book telling you how to use it. I can't find a date, but guess it would be from the 50s or 60s.
The D-76 Developer on the left is from the 1930s while the newer containers on the right are probably from the 1950s or 60s. This developer was used for film.
These are two safelights that are for use in a darkroom to provide light that will not affect the film and/or photo paper. The one on the left is a kerosene unit where you place the liquid in the base, light the wick, open the door that has "Kodak" on it and a colored glass plate will block harmful light for developing. My guess is it is from the early 1920s. The electric one on the right is from the 1950s.
These film tins, one for a single roll and the larger one for a 100' roll of film are circa 1950.
This cannister of film I found at an antique store in Havre deGrace, MD. In it is a 100 foot roll of film that has photos of the 87th Infantry Division in action during WWII. Taken sometime in the 40s. I paid $5 for it. The black and white film yields some war photos.
An original No. 1 Kodak Trimming Board that originally sold for $0.65. Great shape!
A few of the Kodak hats that I have collected. I usually wore the yellow racing hat on the far right when I drove my 1987 Corvette before I sold it.
A few race memorabilia that includes a 1998 Monte Carlo 1:18 scale car, a small car and truck in metal and a mug.
The Kodak tank is for heating water for coffee or tea. Still works.
