HISTORY:
My "world" is 'the arts' and more specifically, music, artwork and hand crafted/decorated chinaware's.
I am not a film enthusiast but an associate has asked me to find new owners for THEIR large collection of photographic and film items ... this is one of those items.
While the world of 8mm/Super 8mm is not my area of expertise, I am doing my best to establish the condition of each item that I am listing.
I tend to be quite detailed in my item descriptions, please READ all the details to decide if this item may interest you.
Now, on with the description ...
This 3x reel motion picture is NOT in an original distributors packaging, but instead in a tri-reel EUMIG library case with three separate doors. The information that follows is from my observations and towards the end of this lengthy description I describe the motion picture as I actually have played the reels.
GAINSBOROUGH PICTURES - Super 8 Film
Commercial release for the Home Movie market
OH, MR PORTER (1937)
British comedy starring Will Hay with Moore Marriott and Graham Moffat A rather inept railway employee becomes stationmaster who then devises a number of schemes to put his station "on the map"
Labelling information is sparse, but at least the owner did place numbered "dots" on each reel along with a small identification label, also at the top of the tri-library case and a label identifying the film on the underside of the library case.
Leader film friction fit reel clip on each reel, these look to be "homemade"
8" (450 Feet) unbranded smokey clear plastic reels, stamped Made In USA
COSMETIC CONDITION:
Very good
Film stock and 3x reels are undamaged, all have leaders and film clips
The library case from EUMIG is a Cream colour with dark Brown drop down doors
NO damage to the canister/case nor to any of the reels. This means no cracks, no missing sections and no parts are mishapen due to heat.
No smells detected from the case and the film stock looks clean and shiny
NO personal names or other writing on the library case and the film reels
TESTING:
STILL TO BE UNDERTAKEN ... NO TIME YET BUT THIS SHOULD GO "LIVE" WITHIN 24 HOURS
