StandardDescription
This is a trio of original, unopened Kodak Gold 200 cartridges in the 110 format. This specific packaging represents the peak of 110's consumer popularity before the digital revolution and the rise of APS film pushed the format toward obsolescence. The "Rite Aid" price sticker and the "New! Improved" marketing tag characterize the drugstore film culture of the late 1990s. Vintage Provenance: These boxes are nearly 30 years old. The 06/1998 and 12/1998 expiration dates place these at the very end of the 20th century. For a museum, the physical integrity of the boxes is "Archival Grade," with the colors still vibrant and the cardboard crisp. The "Rite Aid" Artifact: the $3.99 price tag provides a fascinating economic timestamp. It highlights the accessibility of high-quality color film in standard retail outlets prior to the current "analog resurgence" pricing. Chemical Integrity: Due to the age of the color couplers in C-41 film, these rolls have likely undergone significant "shifting." If shot today, the results would yield a heavy magenta/sepia cast and "chunky" grain—a look highly sought after by lo-fi and experimental photographers.Category
