Description
Please excuse my crummy photos. The viewer has a bright spot that dilutes the color. These were taken with an Iphone on a viewer screen (lots of distortion and dilution in my photos).The film is in very good vintage condition. No smells. Good color. Light grains here and there, per normal. I just wanted to be able to show a little smattering of what was on the reels.
The Kodachrome film box is dated 1953.
The footage starts with a young boy walking down the sidewalk, waving back to the camera (at some sort of playground area).
Then we go to "FAIRYLAND" amusement park in Oakland, California.
The Fairyland shots are nice, showing various attractions, plus some footage at the sea lion show. Shows Mom and son in park. The boy sliding down one of the slides, etc.
Next we go to Christmas 1953. Really nice footage of him getting his stocking down from the mantle, sitting alongside the tree and presents. A Weiner dog comes into view and he gets up and gets his stocking from the mantle, puts a new collar with bells on the dog. The dog gets a new bone, turns and carries it away. Then it's him and the dog. Really adorable footage.
Film ends.
A fun little film, both with Fairyland and Christmas.
