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 film or the motion picture industry is not my area of expertise, I am doing my best to establish the condition of each item that I am listing.
Please READ all the details to decide if this item may interest you. I believe that I have just a very limited number of these plain 7" canisters
These canisters actually had film/a commercial home movie inside them but after discussion with the owner, it was decided to separate the canister from the film ... the latter will be listed at a later time in the future.
Now, on with the description ...
UNIDENTIFIED MANUFACTURER - Film Canister

Well made but there are absolutely no markings at all on either of the two sections of the canister
Suits Standard 8mm or Super 8 film format
For use with 7" diameter reels
EMPTY - Awaiting a film reel!
Material: Silver - metal alloy (non-ferrous but I am not convinced it is Aluminium either, the finish looks very much like a Stainless steel but it is much lighter)
DIMENSIONS:
7.25" OD (184mm) diameter x .75" (20mm) height
WEIGHT: 150g
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN (and now sterilised)
The exterior finish is a high gloss Silver metallic colour, no oxidisation or marks at all.
Canister(s) are ALL in sound condition i.e no dramatic physical damage
Both sections (top & bottom) fit nice and tightly on all canisters (friction fit)
NO personal markings or writing on any of the canisters available
To preserve the condition of each canister, I have placed them individually within a strong clear plastic protective package which is now sealed (air-tight)
