Jim, it seems to be a well preserved and sharp neg. A precious piece of 
history for your family.
Cheers

Luis,

Each day as I look at more negatives from my father-in-law's collection, I 
find another one that amazes me.  The one that I found
today has been in a box of other negatives and prints for eighty years.  I 
have no idea who made it or what camera was involved,
though the quality of the image is good.  It shows my wife's mother, uncle, 
and grandmother at a San Diego beach around 1926, a year
or so before my wife's parents ever met.  My wife gave me permission to post 
it.

The scanner software scanned it as a color negative, giving the blue tint, 
which I like, so I did not convert it to true B&W.
