1941 Agfa 16mm Panchromatic film

[JSD]

I work at a non profit second hand store. As a donation we received an unopened box of Agfa 16mm panchromatic film with a "use by " date of May 1941. Can any one tell me if this has any value as a collector's item?
Thank you very much.

I'm sure it has collectable value. I would put it on ebay, no reserve, $5, 10 day auction and see what you get.

Thanks for the suggestion, PASM, I'll look into it...

Don't open it

Maybe you feel $5 is too cheap. Maybe $10, whatever. Point is - if it's desirable amongst the collectors it will bid up, no worries. Plus you got it for nix, so it's all good.

A lot will depend on the condition of the packaging (rips, tears, rub-marks etc), but I'm sure it will fetch a few dollars from a collector. You might want to consider advertising it on this 'site in the 'For Sale' forum.

The package is still sealed with Agfa's stickers, has a few scuffs and a little dent, but mostly in good condition. We will look into advertising or ebay. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
