Hi,
I've got 50 single weight sheets of Velox F-3
4x5, expired Mar. 1, 1956. The paper is fog free.
It seems true that slower papers and films age slower.
The box has just sat around.
Best, Rich
Velox was unique with its blue-black tone. Once
available in double weight and surfaces other than F but
that was very long ago.
I think some of the old Agfa and Ansco papers were even
better than the much vaunted Azo. Convira````````````` was a
neutral tone contact paper with excellent tone quality. Its
warm tone equivalent was Cykon. Kodak made a warm tone
contact paper called Athena which was similar to Cycon.
These papers had almost a brown color without toning.
Convira was more or less the contact equivalent of Brovira
and Cykon the equivalent to Indiatone.
No one else made anything that looked like Velox.
