I am selling 1903's "The Great Train Robbery" in 16mm film. Film is from Blackhawk Films which is known to produce very good prints.
I am a 8mm film collector so do not have a 16mm projector. I got this film when I bought a big lot of 8mm film. Upon my bare eyes inspection, this film looks new and fresh. In fact, the Blackhawk's receipt when buying this film is still with me.
This film also looks very sharp and free of scratch . No Vinegar Syndrome (VS) !!
If you observe the pictures I provided on Ebay link, you will see there is soundtrack on the right side. So I guess this is the silent film with accompanied sound version (probably accompanied music). You can also see that this film is on color, so I guess this is a tinted (hand painted) version.
