Condition and Testing:

This vintage 16mm film has been run through my sound projector. The picture plays as demonstrated in the accompanying video clip, and the film soundtrack plays very well.

IMPORTANT SOUND NOTE: Any sound interruptions, fading, or intermittent audio heard in the accompanying video are caused by a faulty amplifier in my projector that periodically cuts in and out. These audio problems are caused by my projector, NOT the film. The film's sound is good.

Please examine the photographs and accompanying video for the film's visual condition.

An excellent collectible for Boston Red Sox fans, Joe Cronin collectors, baseball historians, vintage sports memorabilia collectors, and 16mm film enthusiasts.
