8mm Home Movies. Street scenes from Shellsburg IOWA 52332. Christmas 1950s 1960s

Description

GOOD Condition. Small 3-inch reel of standard 8mm film played fine on my projector from start to finish. NOTE THAT THIS IS A PARTIAL REEL. NOT QUITE A FULL REEL. I WOULD GUESS LENGTH IS ABOUT 3 MINUTES.
Date: Exact date is unknown, but the it looks to be the 1950s or 1960s. Just guessing from the cars.
Locations: Shellsburg, Iowa. Zip code 52332. This reel came with another reel in which the Shellsburg Iowa post office is clearly visible. The Standard Oil gas station sign is clearly visible in both reels. Since the reels were batched together and that Standard sign is the same, I am making the educated guess this footage is from Shellsburg, Iowa.
In the beginning, a man arrives with a christmas tree in the trunk of his car. He gets the tree out and takes it in the house. The next scenes are long scenes of what maybe looks like one of the main streets in this tiny little Iowa town. Scene with a couple of females walking down the street.
