I will soon find out.

I dont work with any archive.

Every so often I find lost films and donate.

I just put in my bids.

I ask no one bids against me. Seriously.

If I am a winner they will promptly go to an archive along with other nitrate I have here. No donors restrictions. I don't plan on keeping them.

If you are looking for projectors with lost nitrate fragments on the USA eBay good luck. That source had dried up about seven years ago. The best place to look will be the overseas eBay's.

If overseas it could have been a Bing projector. When a movies commercial life had ended one of its fates was to be cut into 50 - 100 foot lengths and sold for toy projector use. Individual frames were also sold for eye viewers and slide attachments for toy projectors that had them. Like the Keyston...

Amazing stuff. Thanks for posting!

Thanks.

Random.org picked you.

If you like weird and unusual silents you will probably like the Whispering Shadows disc. It is really good.

Great find!

The Picture Idol (1912, Vitagraph) with Clara Kimball Young.

Bluray of the restored Metropolis is my favorite long awaited release.

I like bluray.

Thanks!!

I just ordered "Cut to the Chase: The Charley Chase Comedy Collection" and "Mad Love: The Films of Evgeni Bauer."

$10 each plus $4 shipping

I really like this DVD.

Maybe someone would take a stab at getting this one out to the public some day. 1920s DANTES INFERNO.

Anyone know if this will be from the print previously issued by Kino or the negative that was preserved in an archive years ago?

A great film. I hope to get this as soon as released.

I have a religious film from the mid 1920s about The Good Samatatin. The worst planned and executed silent film I've ever seen. Works fine as a silent short if you increase the speed to double. Boy, I'd have to agree. But for being light on close-ups, it sure compares favorably with similar Indie S...

I found four one reelers at the local flea market two summers ago for five bucks each. The oldest was from 1908. They are all at the LoC and MoMA. One was a lost Pearl White comedy from 1913 that was in a can for a film released in 1905! :D Older films can be had at the overseas eBays. The nitrate o...

Thanks everyone!

There's an interesting assortment here: https://www.nypl.org/voices/blogs/blog-channels/musical-of-the-month?page=1" target="_blank" target="_blank Thanks. I am seeing entries online in LoC "Catalog of Copyright Entries" books for plays. Some are noted as having two copies on deposit. Were complete...

Does "A Top of the World in Motion" (1912) or any of the one reelers it was assembled from exist?

I understand that a copy of the script of "The Widow Jones" starring May Irwin, who re-enacted her role for "The Kiss" (1896) film, may be still around and was brought back to the stage a few times, IIRC. Do other plays from the turn of the century also still exist on paper? Did authors and playwrig...

I understand someone is starting a Kickstarter campaign this week to colorize the following Charlie Chaplin films. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. :D The films are... His Musical Career (1914) The Rounders (1914) A Jitney Elopement (1915) Shanghaied (1915) An April Fool (1917) ... and I am ...

Thanks anyway.

Moving Picture World Jan-Mar 1915 is giving problems.

I have had no luck at WHAT THE FONT.

Anyone know which font this is? It is from a 1912 book.

Amazing. It looks like they maintained camera navigates or good prints after all these many decades.

I am looking forward to seeing this!

Scan and upload to archive.org.

That way everyone can see them. Sell them afterwards.

In the latest in my series of archive.org uploads is a movie tie-in booklet for the silent birth control exploitation feature called "No More Children" (1929, Cliff Broughton Productions). This is a lost film. https://archive.org/details/NoMoreChildren1929FilmBooklet" target="_blank The last reel wa...
