If anyone buys this rare item they should be aware that they will need a special Kinemo projector to show it – using a special form of 17.5 mm film that was shortly to be blown out of the water by the 16 mm gauge. For the complete history of the three films Kinemo advertised in the Golden Age magazine, see this article:

Kinemo sold three films – the Palestine one, offered here, and also Imperial Valley and The Great Pyramid.

You can watch them all on YouTube.

The Kinemo system was also used to film the 1922 Cedar Point, Ohio, convention, and this was offered for sale at the time. No-one (including the Watchtower Society) appears to have this film. Now if anyone could find THIS…

I am the one who posted the films on You Tube. I borrowed the projector and films from a Bible Student in Ohio. I then took still frames of every film frame, using the projector as a copy stand, shooting the photos directly off the film. It is a very small format, so a 50.6 mega pixel camera was used (Canon 5DS R) as well as some close-up lenses and extension tubes on the lens.
