16mm Silent Cartoons Wanted (700 as of 9/16/22)

The list below represents silent era animated cartoons that were probably or definitely circulating in the 16mm film format in past decades. I'm looking to purchase prints of these subjects. I'm also seeking 17.5mm, 28mm, and 35mm prints of similar material as well.
Note: If you don't see a title listed here, I may still need it. I'm often seeking multiple versions or better copies of films I already have.

If you have anything that may be of interest, please get in touch. Thank you!

Some of the ones that got away...

Over the past couple decades, there have been plenty of prints that I've missed out on, for one reason or another. I was able to keep records of certain examples, which I'll share here. My hope is that these prints, or alternate copies of the same films, will resurface again someday. 
Picture
Felix the Cat Busts Into Business (1925)

Back in 2012, a person emailed me about having a print of this cartoon. The photo to the left was supplied to me. After a little bit of back and forth in trying to determine what was actually on the reel and if it might be in good or poor condition, communication went cold. This title still reflects a gap in my Felix archives.
Subway Sally (1927)

Shown at right is a late 1930s Kodascope reissue of this silent era Aesop's Fable cartoon from Paul Terry. This print turned up on eBay in 2015 and I believe I lost out on it because I was a bit short on extra cash at the time, and couldn't put in a very high bid.

I'm still looking for a print of this film, in any version.

Mutt and Jeff in Westward Whoa (1926)

This film is beloved by many in its later sound and redrawn color reissue version. The image at left was taken from an eBay auction way back in 2008. While this original 35mm nitrate print would have been very useful to me in the long run, I was a bit naive some 15 years ago and was more focused only on 16mm prints at the time. So, I let this one go. I'm now regretting that choice, and hope I can trace the current whereabouts of this print at some point...
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in Poor Papa (1927)

Over the past decade or so, a few people have turned up 1930s era prints of this early Oswald cartoon in England, Australia, and Scotland. Unfortunately, a few careless parties have contributed to a misleading notion that prints of these films are worth many thousands of dollars. The image at right represents one such print, which was offered to colleagues and subsequently made unavailable because the owner believed it could be worth several thousand dollars.

I obtained my own print in subsequent years, from France. As my print has French titles, I'm still seeking one with original English titles.

It should be noted that fewer Oswald cartoons are 'lost' than the public would believe. Private collectors, and Disney itself, all have material that has not yet been made public. Wikipedia filmographies and notes on missing/lost/found statuses are incomplete or factually incorrect in certain cases.

More to come, soon...
