Did the 2.8C survive the fire?

Interesting,
The only box of negatives I could find after the fire a few years back were taken with a 2.8C I bought in Hong Kong in 1954. They are still good, however I don't have any idea what I used in the way of film or chemicals. I suppose I could identify the film from the edges, however.
I started out with B&W in Hong Kong while in the Navy and then moved on to color of various sorts. Even so, I probably have a couple hundered negatives, all in their glassine envelopes and all in this wooden box and they don't seem to show any deteoriation. I've scanned a couple of them a year or so but never printed them.
