SLIPPING WIVES (Std 8 Silent) NILES 400' in box or can
ANGORA LOVE (Super 8 Sound) BLACKHAWK 400' in original box (This is the Vitaphone-scored short)

Joe, I bought from Phil Sheard at BFCC a sound Blackhawk copy of 'Battle of the century'-but it's not a full 400'reel,about a bit more than half really-don't know if it's the same you're talking about, still rare though.
...But to give you some hope,have a look at this from France-it's definitely a lot cheaper:

maybe it's worth giving it a try?

Well, yes, the one you boight from Phil should contain the boxing fight at the start, if so and you'd be interested to sell or trade, I'm ready - Shorty
