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 ...
YESTERDAY LIVES AGAIN - Super 8 Film
Castle Films
Catalogue # 501
Originally released in 1938
Black & White

As Kylie Minogue would sing "Step Back In Time" ...
Primarily historical footage dealing with the likes of Buffalo Bill Cody, Andrew Carnegie, William Jennings, Birth Of The Flickers and so much more
Accompanied by a running spoken word commentary
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN
Very good
Film stock and the unbranded (Made in USA) light Grey reel are undamaged, a leader is fitted
Outer cardboard case is in good condition and some extra tape support has previously been added around the sides. The rear of the two section case has promotional material Ken Films, I don't know if this is a substitute case section or if Ken Films are in some way connected with Castle Films.
NO personal names or other writing on the case or reel
TESTING:
Tested with the ELMO ST 1200 I have available, and away we go ....
I have viewed/listened to around 2 minutes off the reel for testing
Leader is in good condition
Black & White film with good contrast and definition, ran smoothly through the ELMO
Sound is good, crisp and clear so I had no trouble following commentary
I am very fastidious and careful with these Super 8 films and I have now packed the film package within sealed, clear plastic while it awaits a new owner
