HISTORY:
My "world" is 'the arts' and more specifically, music, artwork and hand crafted/decorated chinaware's.
I am not a film enthusiast but an associate has asked me to find new owners for THEIR large collection of photographic and film items ... this is one of those items.
While the world of 8mm/Super 8mm is not my area of expertise, I am doing my best to establish the condition of each item that I am listing.
I tend to be quite detailed in my item descriptions, please READ all the details to decide if this item may interest you.
Now, on with the description ...

Outer heavy cardboard box with graphics is in surprisingly good condition after around 50 years! Barely any wear at all to the graphics. There is a note which has been attached by the owner to the box ... "Cleaned & Lub 11/10/83" now I do not know how or what a "film clean & lub" means and in any case, it happened 35 years ago!
The 3x reel cases are all undamaged
No unusual smells detected coming off the film i.e no vinegar or musty smells
NO personal names or other writing on the case or the film reels
TESTING:
