If you need a box for one or more of your prized films, this may just the ticket. It's a fiberboard box with straps, and it holds up to five 15-in. 16mm reels. It's just like the ones movies came in when some of us were school projectionists.
It has a leather carrying handle. But I wouldn't recommend using, because five reels of film are probably too much for it. Both cloth straps are in great shape, but the buckles and ends are a little corroded. Should shine up nice with a little steel wool.
There's also a metal frame where you'd put a label or something.
I don't know what these go for, but I'm asking $20, plus shipping.
I also have a couple empty 16mm reels — one is 15 in., and I have a couple smaller ones. If you're interested, let me know, and I'll see what I have.
This item doesn't look new, but it looks like it was never used — no sign of reels banging around inside and no spots where labels or stickers came off. I have a few more pics I can share, so send me a PM, email me directly at bighitch80@yahoo.com, or text me at 440-2eight9, 6nine32.
