Okay guys, I know that this print is not Super 8 or 16MM, but this was my last cherished 35MM original theatrical print, and I need to raise money to help cover the cost of that new projector, so I hope that you all will forgive me!
It's a 1943 Woody Woodpecker, directed by Alex Lovy, and those pre-1950's Woody's are incredibly rare, and I hate to part with it, but it'll make some collector happy.
Could someone make a link for me?

As the person selling it, I can answer that quickly.
It is an original theatrical 35MM, used in theaters, Woody Woodpecker cartoon. While you will see the occasional 1960's -1972 Woody Woodpecker cartoons, the pre-1950 Woody's are very rare as theatrical prints, on thier original release 35MM, (heck even 1950's woody's are fairly rare).
I must say, I have a print of this specific cartoon on Super 8, and I've seen it in 16MM and I've never seen the incredibly saturated color spectrum that this 35mm Woody has, (except in the partially restored DVD collection). It's an amazingly clorful print. Usually, when I think of Universal's Woody's they tend to have the full color spectrum, but also tend to be pale as well. This one is a winner.
I hoently hate to have to sell it, as it is my last 35MM print, but the aquisition of that optical sound projecor I just got makes it necessary. It is sad, though. I really shouldn't have bid on that projector without the cash available, (that and another purchase that I have promised on.)
