Digital BW, The Print

Nancy, Those were meant to get some answers as to how they were stored.
Brian is quite correct that they could have been processed in a pyro
developer causing stain. The plates could have been hand made or machine
made. Do all the edges look even? And is the yellow color very uniform? Pyro
can be slight yellow and even slightly greenish to brownish. They do sound
like they been through a lot of abuse. I dare say that if they were CDs or
DVD that be unusable.

Yellow on a glass plate? Aging gelatin? Bad fixing. Acid environmental
storage of plates.

Hi

It's also possible that the yellow plates could have been developed in some 
type of Pyro developer.
