Circa 1935 Lou Gehrig Action Film Reels
<B>Circa 1935 Lou Gehrig "Slugging & First Base Play" Movie Film.</B></I> Bring the Iron Horse to life in your living room as you watch this eight-minute film produced by "Stambaugh Elite Sport Series" in the mid-1930's. The title of the film should accurately describe its plot, which studies Gehrig's prowess with the lumber and the leather. We believe that some of the footage of this film was used in Ken Burns' critically acclaimed "Baseball" documentary, but it is quite safe to say that very few men living today have ever laid eyes upon the moving images contained within. A soundtrack runs throughout as well. The nitrate film stock remains in wonderful condition, and can be viewed on a traditional reel to reel system. What lucky baseball historian will get the chance to sit back and watch the tragic Yankee great in action? <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.5% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
