8mm-Filmaufnahmen aus dem Jahr 1939

Bogenschießen vor über 80 Jahren. Erst neulich hatte ich ja Aufnahmen von Berlin im Jahr 1910 hier im Blog, jetzt geht es zwar nicht ganz so weit zurück, dafür aber in die USA, wo uns ein paar Original-8mm-Film-Sequenzen erwarten.

„i did buy it from ebay and this was the info that was written
The beginning of the film shows what I believe is Jones Beach on Long Island — check out the large water tower in the background of some shots. This tower still exists today and is part of the Jones Beach Park.
Also on this reel are images of people ice skating on a huge pond. I originally thought this must be Central Park but the lack of a skyline leads me to believe it is probably also Long Island or perhaps Brooklyn.
Film ends with footage of a football game which appears to be played in a converted baseball stadium — a sandy diamond is visible. I believe this is the Polo Grounds, home of the New York Giants Baseball team.“
