I saved the metal ones for years - yellow tops and green (Tri-X) tops - as well as plain ones. My wife uses them for seed containers in our little greenhouse. I shot a lot of that stuff in Vietnam, mostly Tri-X and Kodacolor-X.

I used a lot of Tri-X in Germany in the 1960's, but I didn't save any of those cannisters. I also used a lot of Ectachrome color slide film.

We had a photo hobby shop on base (Hahn AB) and I did a lot of developing and printing there, even developed one roll of color slide film, about 20 chemicals involved having to keep them all within about 2 degrees of each other...we stored the chems in "snap-cap beer bottles" and set those in big pan of warm water for a couple hours to prepare them. Good thing we had endless hot water on tap there on base.

All of that is history now, photoshop is my darkroom.
