Description

REEL THREE OF PATHEX HOME FILM, "INTRODUCE ME" Color: Black; White A reel, the third of four, for the home-use motion picture, "Introduce Me," sold by Pathex, 1926. The reel is contained in a black canister with the Pathex name, logo, note that the canister was made in France, and a bird-like logo on both sides. At the edge is a white label, on which is black lettering printed giving the item ID number "D-26", the name of Douglas MacLean, the star of the film, the film title, the note that it is part 3, and the descriptor, "Four Reel / DRAMA." There are two other canisters, one of which is separate from the reel that was constained in it, and these are items 2.3 and 2.5 for the canisters, and 2.4 for the loose reel. Additionally, the box for these is 2.1. Reel four was missing from the set. There is some minor abrasion wear to the canister, but there is a strong acetic acid off-gassing from the nitrate-based film, so the condition is considered fair and the reel will be permanently stored in a refrigerator.
