OK, I'm fairly sure that this one is quite rare.
This print of the film is on 5X200ft reels. It is standard 8mm, and the film stock is "Geveart Bellium", which makes it at least 1960 or earlier. The image quality is pretty good, and it does have very nice contrast, good frey tones. The original source material has scratches and stuff, but I'm pretty sure that all prints, super 8 or standard 8mm, have basically the same source material, as this silent era film has seen much wear.
It's in it's original white 200ft boxes, which are browned now, which is to be expected for this old print. It has all of it's original leader on it, (it's never been converted up to larger reels). I wish I could say who released this, but the boxes, nor the leader, (to my best knowledge) says anything about the company who released this. I don't believe that it has a single splice to it. For the person who buys this, I would heartfully recommend a good cleaning lubrication with some film cleaner as, while it's certainly not brittle and most watchable, it is however, old!
Hate to part with, but it's time.
40.00 dollars for this rarity. shipping would be 6.00 dollars US. If someone overseas buys it, the shipping would of course be more, but being it can fit into a rather small box, the shipping wouldn't be outrageous.
Please e-mail me if you are interested (as my PM account is still on the fritz on here) at ...
