I had the same problem with releasing a Chilly Willy cartoon that I scanned. But I had previously posted a Heckle and Jeckle cartoon without any restrictions. Impossible to figure it all out.

I've even had a manual copyright claim on a private video of mine. Not a strike, but cannot be monetized (none of my videos are monetized)

35mm Movie Trailers Scans
Here's some samples from a scan I made from a Popeye episode from 1960, I was all happy with it, I refined my stabilization while doing it and, although a small degradation, the colors look great..
Prior to scanning it I searched the PTO databases to look if this work was copyrighted and I was happy not to find the obligatory renewal around 1988 (28 years after first registration for work before 1978) and for a while I thought this work to be public domain.
But I was wrong, the work has been renewed, it just was under the typo "Barbeque for Two" and the copyrights owner is blocking publication on Youtube.
I don't understand why some still could publish them anyway:
