Hi PatD

Excuse me, I'm new to the world of 8mm so forgive me if my descriptions are a bit off, I'll get the hang of it tho.
The best way I can describe the film is as being in a small cardboard box, there looks to be old selotape on the ends of the box to keep it closed, but as we know over time this dries out and is mostly useless, I didnt want to remove it so as not to ruin the box as it seems in fairly good condition otherwise.
On the side of the box is written A SUPER AMERICAN MOVIE, and what I think is a serial number P214.
The reel itself is 150ft, plays well, the film is black and white and has subtitles that are clear and easy to read.
I've added a couple of images to flicker as adding photos here sounds complicated, if that helps.
