   Supreme was a trade name used by Agfa Ansco for a medium 
speed general purpose film for quite a long time. Since 
these negatives are larger than 4x5 they were probably for a 
centimeter size plate camera. Sheet films of 4x5 and larger 
are slighly smaller than their nominal size. Supreme would 
probably be about ISO-30. The name was perpetuated in later 
Agfa/Ansco films as Superpan Supreme. I have an Agfa/Ansco 
1937 catalogue somewhere but coundn't find it just now. I 
will look again. When my house was messy I knew where 
everything was, now that its neat I can't find anything.
