Is that 16mm? Awesome.

Yes 16mm,  nobody ever has the films though :dunno:

I have a 16mm print of Gremlins. :M

You would think that with the number of them made there would be more around, when I was a kid you could get them at the library not to mention all the ones schools had

True. I wonder what happened to all those prints. Here, I'm guessing that most of them were chopped up when the distributors no longer had the space that was needed. A lot of 35mm prints were destroyed at the same time. :(

I asked my wife to ask the AV guy at her school and he said they were all gone before his time,  I had been hoping that some were still in a back room somewhere.  My brother told me about a guy he knew who destroyed a lot of old film to recover the silver

Hey, books are a great addiction. They don't ruin your weight, nor your liver. And buying a nice book is very satisfying.

I know. My bookshelves put on weight, though.

I had to take leave of a lot of books, my bookshelves were morbidly obese. Did help for a while.
Now I may have to do it again.

I made a bid for fun on Marktplaats on a box with spinning related stuff. Could not see all that was in it, but recognised one thing that was absolutely worth more than what the former bidder had suggested, and that I would not mind having.
So, just for fun I offered €15, it was overbid the day after. To my amazement, I got it.
There is loose weaving stuff in the box, that I cannot use, there are display plates for all kinds of rope (shop? school?) and there was an umbrella wool winder, a cake winder and two niddy noddies, all complete and working well. Three spools that do not fit my spinning wheel, but may fit one of someone I know.

Kid and I had fun this morning, using the stuff we could use.
