It's a long time since I've seen it in one piece Laksmi, usually
these trailer reels are broken up and sold individually.My own
copy I bought from a chap in the UK who had the film on his list
and all the trailers were separates, so it just meant buying them
and assembling them onto one spool, the price actually wasn't too bad as they were about £3.00 each, but the sad fact is that this is what happens.There was a clutch of trailers just a week ago on
ebay,all '50s horror films, and I could identify the trl reels they
came from, but chopped up and sold as singles.I would think
the chance of obtaining one now as slim.

Thanks Hugh for the info. Please let me know if you see anything. I do have a very rare 400 foot Trailer reel from Red Fox of Ray Harryhausen films. I got it about 30 years ago . It still holding up after all these years .

I have that reel Larry, did you release it? Mine still has great colour
and I bought a second copy some years back and gave it to a
friend in Germany who was a fan of stop motion like myself.

No that is not my reel. Mine would not be faded. I only produced my reels on low-fade stock. Only the very first thing I released, a Star Wars trailer, I believe was printed on Eastman. Maybe yours was printed after 1982.

No, I got mine from a little company in Blackpool,called Regent
Films, who imported various films,and It would be 1975 when
I seen it on their list, but the colour is still excellent.I was later
told it was an LA Films release and that there was a 2x400'
"Valley of Gwangi" available, but as yet I haven't come across
that one.
