    Description

    Here is a 400 ft 16mm Kodachrome film with 300 ft of film about the "Japanese Beetle" dating from around 1939 based on the Kodak film code symbols seen along the edge of the film. I sold this same film a few weeks ago and just realized I have another one, but this one must be the original film as the other one was a dupe.
    Also written on the film canister is "These Insects Cost You Money!! (Fruit) Duplicate - Property of Cornell University Entomology Department".
    This film is full of funny inter-titles with cartoon like insects like the following:
    - "MMM, DO I LIKE JUICY APPLES!"
    - "ASPARAGUS!! MY FAVORITE DISH".
    - "BEETLES LIEK SWEET CORN"
    - & more.
    Wikipedia: Charles Edmund Palm
    (1911-Feb. 25, 1996) was an entomologist and Dean of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University
    for 13 years from 1959 to 1972.
    Palm was born in Austin, Texas, and grew up on a fruit and vegetable farm in northwest Arkansas. He graduated with honors from the University of Arkansas and then earned a Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1935.
    The film appears to be in excellent condition with no issues that I could see.
