    Personally I think it should be donated to the National Film Archives. They will be able to restore it and save it for future generations. There is no need to be greedy so donate it.

    Why is it greedy? If I'd have found it I would keep it and if it was worth anything I'd sell it to the highest bidder. If I couldn't come to an agreement, I'd burn it under their noses.
    A 1991 Gallup survey indicated that 49 percent of Americans didn't know that white bread is made from wheat.

    Expecting to get a fair price for it is not greed.

    All for you getting a good price, but, and there always is. I have seen cans of film going for sale on "Bargain hunt", "Flog it" and shows of that ilk, and they could not be sold, because of the Copyright Laws, hope this is not the case.
