There is a website dedicated to "old" Kodak film canisters: https://www.photo.net/forums/topic/454739-kodak-35mm-film-canisters-history/ .... Even if just for sentimental reasons....and, btw and for curiosity's sake, how many people just use film these days?
Back in the "old days" when we shot iron sights, I used these with a small hole in the cap, added carbide and a few drops of water and used the acetylene to blacken my sights.

As a retired Kodak employee I love seeing the old film canisters. I still shoot film in addition to using my Nikon Z7II. It is a shame but the younger generation doesn't even know who Kodak is and the impact the company had on a generation of film shooters. Thanks for showing.

I had 32 seconds to do the work for you “Charles.” Precisely $5 each. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325923568625?hash=item4be28efbf1:g:xSQAAOSw1UpldmXF

When you misplaced it, it was probably a crime to have it. Now you can just go to a store a buy it. How things change.

I remember getting Kodak film in black plastic containers with the grey plastic snap on caps when I bought my Canon FTBn in 1976.

Reminded me of a a few I had seen in my dad's old oak desk downstairs, sure enough, still there; (no blue tops though.) Some have exposed film still in them from the '50s. I'll have to process them some day soon and see what my brothers and I were up to back then...

I live 3 miles from Kodak Park. My brother has worked for Kodak for 37 years, still does. My dad was a physicist for Kodak for 40 years in their "heyday". Monday (Feb. 5), my son started working at Kodak as the electrical engineer for their film division. He said there is such a demand for film they are having trouble keeping up, so he and his department are working to ramp up production. Always been proud to shoot Kodak film, still do.

They bring back a great many memories. I remember Kodak BW400CN film. It was my favorite over Ilford films. I no longer have any of these cans but would love to have a few. I did find a film holder plastic canister to attach to my bag’s shoulder strap.
