I wonder if you could approach the Massachusetts council about getting a grant from them to restore the film? If they don't already have some kind of copy of the film - they may be interested.

That is something I’ve thought of but at the moment I have too many other irons in the fire. I have six different projects right now I’m trying to complete, stuff that’s been on my books for a couple years now. That Film is actually one of them but it’s down the road a bit. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching.

Thank you, I love the world as it was and hope to share it with those folks in the future that have will have no idea what they missed. Someday I will get that film processed but I have to build an adapter for 28mm. I have too many other films that need processing and are easily done as they are 16mm. Thank you for watching and check back, new stuff every week.

8:26. An American automobile icon, a 1932 Ford V8 five window coupe. 13:18 Most of the row of cars look to be pre 1920 with what could be a 1917 or 1918 Dodge at the front of the row.

I do this because I love every part of it but I realized years ago that it meant nothing really unless somebody else enjoyed it too so I started my website at “Office of Image Archaeology” for all of the antique photographs and paper ephemera, photo albums, negatives and so much more. ThenI created this KZitem channel for antique Film. Over the years I’ve transitioned primarily into old film and I have so much of it right now that I truly believe I’ll die before I get it all done. LOL anyway I want to thank you for your comment because folks like you make this all worthwhile. Thank you so much for watching.

you need to leverage the power of the crowd, do you upload to the raw scans to the internet, in a way where anyone can download? you could leverage the energy of the public, to crowd restore this footage, many people might take up the challenge. I'd be interested to see what AI could do with this footage from a restoration perspective.

You’re so very welcome, I’ve got something kind of interesting coming up pretty soon. It’s a 12 inch reel of film I found hanging on a barn wall a few years ago. It had hung there for 30 years after being found in one of the horse stalls Under some urine soaked hay. I was really curious what might be on the film even though it was pretty much destroyed. I’m really glad I saved what was there. It turned out to be someone’s home movies from 1939, 40 and 42 I’m pretty sure think. Extremely interesting stuff. Thanks for watching

Next google find: Mack had a factory in Allentown PA. Image search result: www.pinterest.de/pin/380483868489271351/ - exactly this parking lot at the Mack factory. Note the facade in the upper right corner of that photo and compare to 19:15 in your film. There is a bridge in that town with a Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albertus_L._Meyers_Bridge. When you look at it in Google Maps, you will notice that your scan of this film is mirrored.

You nailed it! I really will have to republish this film with your information. I will credit you for it, if you would rather have something other than your KZitem monicker used contact me with that information. I am trying to work out the funding to have the film processed using what is called a wetgate. This helps remove scratches and other flaws in the film. When that is done it will be republished looking a whole lot better with better information. Thanks again and thank you for watching.
