Hi,
I am so excited that I found this site. I attended a public school in the the 1950’s. Kindergarten included Friday film strip time where they combined the two or four grades into one room, darkened the room by pulling down the shades and then showed us film strips on a movie screen. The ones I vividly remember were the Little Match Girl, the Bremerton Musicians, Chicken Little, all the regular stories like the Three Little Pigs, etc. However one I cherished in a corner of my mind for all these years was about a Little Imp. I think it was a gargoyle but they called it an imp. It lived in the highest part of the cathedral under the roof. On Christmas Eve a statue was chosen to be in the Nativity scene with the Nativity figures. This little statue thought it was too ugly to be chosen. It helped a little bird or a bat with an injured wing and then it was chosen. Moral – beauty lies in the heart of kindness.
I have looked on ebay for 10 or more years. I am not obsessed wth finding it but I will continue to search. If you are aware of this title and any other information, I would be so happy if you could share it with me. Thank you. Gini

It looks kinda like the second one up except the record player pops out the side when you pull a corner of the case and it does also have narration on the film

I have a question to how much my dukane flip top is worth? I haven’t gotten the model number but it was a chevrolet salemans case from 1936 and has a roll of film featuring the 1936 standard 6 from chevrolet. unfortunately the record wasn’t with it to narrate the film strip which was my guess and the case and everything is in great condition. so if I can get a value from someone that knows these id appreciate it. Thank you. Jake

Hi,
we are wondering if you have access to any filmstrips and records (33’s)sets from the Family Filmstrips. Our church uses them at different times to help reinforce a story from the Bible, for the junior church class (ages 4- 12) They truely do enjoy watching and listening to them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have film strips, & casettes to give away. 6 Aesop Fables that have 3 fables on each, and and 6 Best Loved Fairy Tales from Europe.

I was still showing these to my students about 10 years ago but finally the district got rid of the last projector. Todays kids have no clue about Easops Fables and what a moral is. Some of the Europian Fairy Tales are not common titles… The Horned Goat ( Poland), Why the Sea is Salty (Norway)….The Colony of Cats (Italy)…..Dick Whittington and His Cat (England).

I would just like to know that they will be used not thrown into a landfill!

Hello!
I’m Russian and have always had fond memories of childhood evenings spent watching diafilmy (film strips). I have some old fairy tales strips in Russian and am looking for film strips in English to share with my bilingual daughter.
I’m interested in the following categories:
– classic fairy tales
– tales from around the world
– educational strips, especially about explorers, geography, ancient history, animals, biology, and art, but will consider most subjects
If anybody has film strips to give away or sell, please contact me at kostoglo@colorado.edu
Thanks! Best, Elena

Hello, I own a teachers box complete with filmstrips, 33 1/3 records, booklets & teachers questions for each of the Classic Fairy Tales inside (10 fairy tales i believe). The box is in great shape! Every piece that i checked out under light seemed unplayed to me (records). didn’t want to handle film much so i just peaked and they too seem new. I believe it was made between 1950-1968, not sure. I know it was done by Encyclopaedia Brittannica. Need to sell. Please, can someone point me in the direction of interest. Or, if interested , please feel free to drop me an email spiritlnkn@yahoo.com Thank You, Steph Stephenson

KT, take care of those strips! Unreleased footage of WWII can be worth a very large sum. Try contacting someone from a nearby historical society to get you started!
