Felix The Cat nitrate; which one is it?

Tom Stathes may know. :)

No date code on this. Got this with a toy projector a while ago. A kid colored in some of the frames with crayon. :lol:

Was that the Kodascope I saw on eBay this week? There were a couple Felix reels there and I never checked to see if my clip was from them.

Perhaps we can trade for something. I'm sure the crayon can be removed with Vitafilm. lol. Right now I am off to the bar. :mrgreen:

Yes, that one... my Felix collection is really coming along nicely.

I'd say not to wash that crayon off- would love to see it as is :wink:

{Back from the bar. lol}

Believe it or not, that fragment came along with about seven MINT condition 35mm Keystone toy projector prints featuring everyone from Harold Lloyd to Douglas Fairbanks. All date coded 1924 - 1925. Some of the cans still have their labels on them.

They smell newly mothball-minted and came to me in a small, child's suitcase.

That was a wonderful little horde! I've got a Keystone felix clip as well, in its original light blue can with printed label.

There are suppose to be Montgomery Ward catalogs from the early 30s where films like this can be ordered in the mail.
