OK, I don't have any pictures, but I'll describe it.
I still have that 9.5MM Mickey Mouse cartoon, but I have always been curious as to the film stock. Off the top of my head, I would assume acetate, but the reason why I ask is that this old stock has a distinctive "metallic" quality to it, when in the light (not exposed on the projector), which other stocks these days, especially modern acetate does not have. Note, not a mirror like shininess, but a grey metallic sheen to it.
"Metallic" is the only word I can think of to describe this. Can it be acetate but due to the chemical composition of the film stock, it has this metallic sheen?
Just curious.
