Silent color 35mm film shot for a Castorri and Company Silent color 35mm film shot for a Castorri and Company advertisement for Boblo Island on May 12, 1987, of the Skytower and the carousel.

The film opens with a shot of a clapboard, labeled "Castorri and Co., Boblo Island #1387, Scene 1, Date: May 12, Take 1." Ron Castorri is listed as both the director and the camera operator. This is followed by several shots of the park's Skytower. The camera zooms in and out from the logo at its top, and pans along its length.

This is followed by scene 2, take 1, on the same day, in which the camera films children on the park's carousel. Some children wave to the camera.

The film is in a 35mm canister with several labels. An Eastman Kodak label has been partially covered by a length of cloth tape marked, "1000' 5247-072-111 (34) Sc 1 Tk 1, Sc 2 Tk 2, Roll 1, AAAP." Another length of cloth tape around the side of the canister is labeled, "WO# 71271 Orig. 5247 Castorri & Co. #1387 'Boblo' (Roll #1) 5-13-87." A Producers Color Service, Inc. form label on the tin's lid lists Castorri as the customer, "Boblo Island" as the title, "5-13" as the date, "1" as the roll number, and "1000" beside "Footage."
