HOME MOVIES

Long before dvd discs and vhs tapes there were home movies – physical celluloid film in 16mm and 8mm widths on reels that you had to run through a portable home movie projector. And those films were sold in camera shops, department stores and through mail order companies. The boxes they were packaged in were, at times, attractive and today some of those boxes are worth more than the films themselves!I’ve posted a few vintage home movie boxes on various pages of my Original Titles website. You can also see a gallery of great ones at Harry McCracken’s Harry-Go-Round website. They don’t make ’em like this anymore.
