Description: 3x Vintage 1940 Yosemite Tru-Vue 3D Stereo Photos Film Reel Strip View-Master_______________________________________________________ I've collected 3D Stereo items for the last 30 years. It's come time that I pass along these hard to find items to someone else to enjoy. This is a set of three vintage 1940s Tru-Vue film reels of 3D pictures taken of Yosemite National Park in California. Each reel contains 14 different 3D stereo images for viewing within a Tru-Vue viewer stereoscope (not included). See the park as it once was in these wonderful 3D photos from 75+ years ago! This set contains:334 Yosemite -1335 Yosemite -2336 Yosemite -3 Condition:The film strip reels are all in excellent condition and are all in their original red and silver boxes! I have personally gone through each film strip reel with white gloves on and inspected every frame and every film cog. All are perfect guaranteed! I would suggest when viewing these rare films (and all other Tru-Vue films), to pull them slowly through the viewer rather than using the advance lever. This is how the brittle 80 year old cogs get torn. All of the boxes have slight shelf wear as to be expected and as can be seen in my photos, but all flaps are present and there are no writing, tears, or crushes anywhere on the boxes. Each reel is in its original cardboard sleeve. I have tried my best to photograph every aspect of the boxes and film strips. Please check my pictures out and if you have any questions, please email! Packaging on these will be very secure! Thanks for looking! PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE 3D STEREO VIEWERS, VIEWS, and CAMERAS About Tru-Vue from the UK Viewmaster website:TRU-VUE Inc., Rock Island, Illinois USA manufactured the viewers and over 400 different 3D film reels. The company was founded in 1931 and after the 1933 "Century of Progress Exposition" in Chicago grew and flourished through the 1930's and 40's. The original viewers used 35mm filmstrips, generally containing 14 stereo views, which were pulled through the viewer using a lever (visible at the bottom of the left-hand photograph below). In 1949 Tru-Vue sold over a million reels of film! The quality of the 3D presented is generally very good, although the films need to be handled carefully. Film-strips and viewers were made between 1933 and 1952. Ultimately the Tru-Vue company was acquired by Sawyers View-Master in 1952, who wanted the rights to Disney licences held by the company.
