Many Thanks Mark.

I might possibly be able to help with some reels, but they would come with cans. I think boxes would be extremely difficult to find, perhaps partly because the differing sizes of 800' reels made it impossible for anyone to make them in a specific size.

This may not reassure you, but I think the majority of collectors are 100% convinced that a film won't catch VS from a reel used in relation to a VS film. Even if it somehow still contained a tiny quantity of residual gas, briefly putting it outside will eradicate this (not that I'm implying that such amounts of gas could trigger VS in a print).
