My uncle took Kodachrone slides in the early 1940's, and they still have the
color that they had 60 years ago.

I took Kodacolor negative photos in the 1950's, and started to use
Kodachrome for slides in 1959.  In 1959, Kodachrome had an ASA rating of a
whopping "10" (I use ASA 200 film now), but my 1959 photos have retained
their color as if they were taken yesterday.
