Default SOLD 16mm films Milwaukee Braves hilites 1953-62

Nearly 30 years ago at one of the "church basement" shows in Milwaukee, a guy brought in a stack of red plastic film containers. Each was a 16mm baseball or football movie.

These were sponsored by Miller Brewing Co., and were made available on loan to schools, youth groups, fraternal organizations, etc., to be shown at banquets, fund raisers, etc.

Each film is about 1,000' and, I imagine, runs for 30 minutes to an hour.

I have never viewed any of the films, but did have three of them converted to VHS tapes in 1995 -- at $70 apiece!

I'd guess each film is fully functional, though I noted in a quick visual scan that most have some taped repairs.

I bought 11 of the movies, though today I have no recollection of what I paid for them.

I'm making them available to you for $35 apiece, postpaid. I will not accept PayPal for these films . . . check or money order only.

The Milwaukee Braves highlight films available are:
The Milwaukee Story (1953) black/white
Home of the Braves (1954) color
Baseball's Main Street (1955) color
Pride of the Braves (1958) color
Bravesland U.S.A. (1961) color
Around the League with the Braves (1962) color

The football films will be offered in the appropriate category.

If you want one of these movies, "claim" it in this thread and PM or email me to confirm.
