The notched negatives looks like a Frena camera neg.

Hello Jonathon,

Your negatives seem quite interesting however I think they would be even more so if you could scan a few.  One doesn't need a special scanner to do this - just an ordinary flat-bed will do.  I have a large collection of glass negatives from the Cochrane family and I have scanned the majority of them with my flat-bed scanner.  Here's a link to my Flick.com set showing how I do it:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/34370769@N07/sets/72157628719102071/  and you can see examples of the scans by just searching my photostream under "Cochrane"

Hope this is helpful.

 

John.
