Thirty Unique, Mounted Stereo Slides
PORT AUTHORITY TRANSIT IN PITTSBURGH EXCURSION OCTOBER 1, 1972
cars # 1603 & 1639
The stereo slides are fully marked as to locations, equipment,etc. Typical details include:"Car #1603 (forward), a PCC city street car, 1 of the chartered cars for the afternoon, north east bound on Smithfield St., between the Blvd. of the Allies & 3rd Ave." and "Both cars #1639 (left) & 1603 (right) south bound on Broadway Ave., parked between Beachview & Coast/Realty Avenues" and "Car #1639, south east bound, continues to cross that trestle" and "Car #1603, north east bound, parked on the Castle Shannon Loop.".
One the reverse the date is stamped and t is technical including film speed, shutter speed, and f-stop.
These slides are shot on 35mm film however they are stereo slides ...that is, two slightly different views of the same event (see photo number two). When viewed through a stereo projector they look 3D. They can also be scanned--as I did for this listing--or mounted individually. That would give you an extra slide for a railfriend! The pictures are about 7/8" square and they are mounted in cardboard holders about 4" wide x 1 1/2" tall.
The stereo slides were shot with a 1950's vintage, manual REALIST stereo camera. Though state-of-the-art at the time, pictures may be over or under exposed, etc.
These are original slides...t are no copies. This is the only set of these slides in existence. Full rights to these images passes to the high bidder upon payment of their winning bid.
Unless you have a time machine this will be your only chance to own these historic stereo slides.
