8mm movie collection

By mich579, 2 January, 2017
Description

Hello,

I have a collection of 32 8mm movies.  I have seen the prices for individual 8mm films, but was curious to know the value of the entire collection.  The titles, all fro Castle Films, include:

News Parade 1941

135. News Parade of they Year 1942

News Parade of the Year 1943

No. 157 News Parade of the Year 1944

No. 157 (not a typo--they both say 157) News Parade of the Year 1945

No. 163 Nwes Parade of the Year 1946

No. 164 News Parade of the Year 1947

No. 167 News Parade of the Year 1948

No. 168 News Parade of the Year 1949

#172 News Parade 1950

No. 1901 News Parade of 1965 (brand new in shrink wrap still)

Finland Fights

No. 618 Three Little Bruins Make Mischief

No. 615 Crocodile Thrills

No. 612 Wing Claw and Fang

Movie Headlines

Battle for France

Bombs Over Europe

 

Most boxes are in very good condition.  The ones that do not have a cover to take off may have some tears at the small opening at the top (not all do though--just some).  These same ones are extremely difficult to pull the reel out of as well--it feels like it's stuck on something, but the box is just super tight around it.  I did not take all the reels out but for the handful that I did, they appeared to be in excellent condition.

I do have an 8mm Sears Du-All projector that works that I plan to sell with these, so viewing them would not be an issue for a buyer.  

With the 1940 and 1962 films missing, would it be worth my time and money to track those down to complete the set that I have?
