I am selling a batch of spare used 16mm archival film cans, made in America by Tuscan for Larry Urbanski. I am selling 19 x 800' and 3 x 400', plus a few spare spools as shown. The cans allow the film to breathe through small slots and guard against vinegar syndrome.

All these are in good used condition - a few small scratches, but no sticky mess from old labels. A few will have a faint smell of mothballs where I have used them to store original Kodascope prints, which have this smell.

Please note - these cans are primarily designed for film stored on cores. While spools fit in, even the larger than average Tuscan type, they will stick up a bit, meaning you would only want to store a few on top of each other to prevent placing too much strain on the spools on the bottom.

£30 the lot, plus postage (probably be around £10 via MyHermes).

Happy New Year to you all!

Chris
