abe's ORIGINAL VINTAGE GLASS SLIDE AUCTION ENDING 12.21.06 As with our 1-sheet and lobby card auctions this week, we are offering a grace period for payment in light of the fact that many budgets are stretched due to the holidays. We will allow payment for this week's slides as late as January 10th, 2007. Film: The Invisible Ray (1936) Studio: Universal Stars: Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Frances Drake About glass slides: Glass slides were produced to promote early motion pictures of the silent era and up through the early 1950s. They measure 3-1/4" x 4" (including the "frame") and were generally only exhibited in the coming weeks of a film's release. Glass slides were used less and less as the theatrical trailer started to become more prevalent beginning in the 1930s. The rarity of an intact glass slide is not to be underestimated. Only available to movie theaters and not the general public, most were probably discarded upon the respective film's release. Those that did survive were very often damaged over the years. Some contend that today an uncracked glass slide is just as rare, if not more scarce than the same title's posters. for larger, high-detail versions of the slide. If you see any green, yellow, or red horizontal lines running across the entire image, please be assured that this is a digital artifact that is not present on the actual slide. Our scanner has been worthless lately and we do apologize for the lines. T are two images of the slide below. The first image is a transparency scan which accurately portrays the colors and condition of the slide as it would appear if projected with a white light source. The second image is a reflective scan which includes the "frame" of the slide. Often times this second reflective scan will not display the transparent part of the slide very well, as a piece of white paper was placed behind it during the scan. Note the watermark in the center of each high-detail image is not on the piece itself; watermarks have been digitally inserted to deter exploitation of my scans.
