Thislisting is for a lot consisting of 250 (two hundred fifty) vintage Kodak 126 SizeReady-Mounts. They are not in the original factory packages but were bulk packed at some point into a white cardboard storage box. We recently acquired several of these boxes. We counted the contents of one box and there were over 250 pieces (286). All of the boxes are full and hold a comparable quantity so you will get at least 250 mounts but most likely, closer to 300.
They are Kodak ModelB256W (Catalog No. 145-1772) 2" x 2" cardboard"Heat Seal" mounts designed to fit 28x28mm transparency slide film (126 Format - 26x26mm). Themounts come already folded and sealed on three sides. You simply cutthe film if necessary (guide included), insert the film into the open end andthen heat it up to seal. If you would rather not use heat, you can usetape.The mounts are NEW, UNUSED old stock from the 1960's. The mounts are nice and clean but do have a mild, musty odor. The storage box itself is in nice, clean condition with no splits or deterioration. We tested a few mounts from a similar box and they still sealed nicely when heated.
They stopped producingthese mounts decades ago and they are now getting difficult to locate. Don'tmiss this opportunity to acquire these in bulk if you have old 126 film to mount, scanor project!
*Be advised that theinstructions may refer to removing a "white paper insert" during themounting process. The mounts you receive will most likely have"clear plastic inserts", as shown. Kodak used both types ofinserts but the instructions often refer only to the paper. We arementioning this to avoid potential confusion. Please review the photos for a better look at the lot. Also be sure toview our other listings since we may have something else that interests you!
*Additional information on 126 Format Film: In 1963, Kodak introduced a new film, encased in a plastic cartridge, for which they re-introduced the "126" designation. (The number was originally used for the unrelated 126 roll film format from 1906 to 1949). The term "126" was intended to show that 26mm square images were recorded, using Kodak's common 1xx film numbering system. However the image size is actually 28×28mm, which usually was reduced to approximately 26.5×26.5mm by masking during printing or mounting. At the nominal 28mm square size, the image diagonal is 39.6mm, which is close to the 43.3mm diagonal of a 135 film frame (24×36mm); the crop factor or equivalent focal length multiplier is 1.09 based on the diagonal measurements.
