Description

REEL TWO OF PATHEX HOME FILM, "THE PINCH HITTER" Color: Black; White A reel, the second of four, for the home-use motion picture, "The Pinch Hitter," 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-7", the name of Charles Ray, the star of the film, the film title, the note that it is part 2, and the descriptor, "Four Reel / DRAMA." The other three canisters are items 1.2, 1.4, and 1.5 and the box for them is item 1.1. 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.
