How old is this film?

[FishyFish]

I bought a bunch of expired film recently with the age quoted as 10-20 years. From the design of the cannister I'm guessing its nearer the 20 year mark. Can anyone offer an educated suggestion?

I just want to work out whether to overexpose it, and by how much.

Thanks.

According to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodak_Tri-X, prior to 2007. From the condition of the canister, I'd guess not too much prior?

Thanks @ChrisR

I’ve shot a roll of it now. I overexposed it a stop and then developed it normally in 1+4 DD-X. I’ve only scanned a single frame so far, but it looks ok.

I think it's really quite old - even older than that challenge thread that you started and couldn't be bothered finishing.

I think the phrase you're looking for is "completely forgot about", but thanks for the nudge.
