<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 436518, member: 36"]The chip you photographed just looks like old age, not "celluloid disease". Once that sets in there's no saving it. The whole thing just crumbles. That happens a lot when celluloid gets too hot, or sometimes just at random. I once bought a purse that was partially celluloid, threw it in my trunk (in April in CT mind) and it got too warm. By the time I got home, I smelled vinegar and the purse started collapsing on itself the next day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
