Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Short silent 50 foot Kodachrome reel (1949) from an oil drilling rig belonging to "Arrow Drilling" company. There seem to be quite a few companies that have been named that, so unsure of the specific one. It *may* be in Canada, as the film reel itself had a Canadian patent date, but the film didn't have any markings on the edge code indicating it was film stock produced in Canada.
