I found the film 'All Muddled Up' with Charlie Chaplin by Keystone Kinescope Projection, Boston, MA in some old family things. It is a single reel of 8 mm (I guess?). The reel is dated 1924. What is this thing? Is it valuable? I would like to sell it. I would be greatful for any information. Thank you,

How big is the reel?

My guess is that it is a short 16mm cut down of a Keystone. They were apparently made available to the public around that time. The titles usually bear no relation to the titles of the films they came from.

It's an excerpt from a Chaplin film intended for use on a toy projector.

If the date is 1924, it is 16mm.

These excerpts usually sell for $7-8 apiece.

I had a conversation with with him. It is apparently a scene from His Trysting Place. (He manually looked at it and it showed CC in a kitchen holding a baby.)
