ID This Super 8 Stock: Ektachrome II

[jaxshooter]

I saw this stock on ebay, Ekatchrome 2. Now I thought I was well versed on Kodak stocks past and present, but this one doesn't ring a bell. I'm assuming this stock predates 7242 EF as well as 7244 SM, Ektachrome 160, E40 and E160 type G. This would place it somewhere in the mid or late '60's when the format was pretty new.

I'm sure this stock would be pretty worthless to shoot on, but for nostalgia sake, might be worth bidding on. Here's the ebay link.

It's listed as "new". Since it's new to an old dog like me, I guess that's accurate.

Its "new" as in its never bee opened....but IIRC it dates from late 60's/early 70's.

I had a role of Ektachrome II in the 120 format that I found in an old camera left by my grandfather. I was advised circa 1992 that it was at least twenty years old and used the E2 or E4 process. I attempted hand processing B&W neg and got nothing from it whatsoever.

I think Angus is about right on this - I remember vaguely having a roll labelled Ektachrome 11 in Standard 8 about the time I was normally using Kodachrome II

I think this was about 1970 but I will try to find the faded segment amounst my Kodachrome reels to try and date it.
