I have looked at several sites concerning dating Kodak and other film stocks, but I can not apply the information to film I'm interested in; the edge reads:
Kodak 32 Safety Film..
Can anyone date this for me?

Robert, look in between the words on that edge information for smaller geometrical markings, a combination of two plusses, circles, squares, or triangles. Sometimes you have to unwind quite a bit of film to see what's cut off in the sprocket holes. However, with the exception of standard 8mm's early decades, those markings are very accurate. Since you found other weblinks I won't repost, but you may need a loupe or magnifying glass to do this accurately.
