I got a Roll Film Camera in the early 1950's and had the film developed at a
Drugs Store nearby.
They used Acorn company to process and make prints.

I don't think the Month Year was shown at the bottom of the prints in the early
50's but do remember seeing it added to the photos in the later 50's.

Of course the film negative didn't have that feature way back then.

My last film camera i bought in the '70's didn't do that either.
Only until I started using  a digital camera did I see the Instant the picture
was made.
