Hello again ...
I just bought this Red Fox reel from 55555yankees and I thought i was getting the complete reel, but I found that it had at least two or more commercials missing, (as there were two splices on the reel and inbetween commercials, an obvious hint as to something missing).
I wrote the seller not as much to gripe, but to just ask if he could tell me what was missing from this reel so that, in the future, if I should run across another copy, I'll know what to look for concerning what was "originally" on it.
He didn't reply to my ebay message ...
I must say, that the ebay auction didn't say that it was the complete original release of this, so, my bad ... in the future, I'll ask before I bid.
So, does anybody know what the full reel originally had?
Here is a link to what i bought and the listing of what I got ...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/TV-STAR-COMMERCIAL-REEL-Super-8-SOUND-200-039-Marx-Brothers-The-3-Stooges-/163099291830?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=XX O5sh7V9uEw3vRpSDaUpZLcags%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Thanks ahead of time.

Yes, it has all the original leader on it and it is infact an "official" Red Fox print, it just has those two (or more) "deletions" from the reel sold.
I should note that every commercial that he said was on the reel, was in fact on the reel, but as you said he didn't let the buyer know that the reel was incomplete. I'm hoping that he might get back to me as to what is missing from the reel, but he might not honestly know.
Just know folks, I'm not going after this fellow, (I'm assuming fellow, most collectors of cine are), as i only do that with those folks who really royally screw you. This guy didn't, and he might have known for a fact that this reel was incomplete. I mean, it did come in it's litterally mint box and it is unscratched condition, it's just missing footage, that's all, and I'm just wanting to know what the missing commercials are.
The list of what is on the reel is on the ebay listing that i linked to at the beginning of this series of posts.
