Important Added Info: Note that this auction is for an original 1923 Stereoscopic Slide Viewer (in its original case) plus 19 of the 20 original slides that were made to be used with this viewer! They are numbered on the back and have descriptions of the scene on front. Slides like this were one of the earliest versions of "3D", because when you looked at these slides in the viewer they appeared to be three dimensional. We have seen where an auction company reported selling another example of this viewer and ten of the slides from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and ten slides from Phantom of the Opera, and they reported that those sold for $3,824. We found another auction that reported a different viewer with ten Phantom of the Opera slides and they reported those sold for $2,194.75. The winner of this auction will receive the viewer, plus the 19 slides (missing one from the original set of 20). We also are auctioning in a separate auction five slides from Phantom of the Opera without a viewer. This is the very first time we have auctioned this viewer, or any of the slides from either movie! Condition: very good. The slides are in really nice condition as is the viewer. The double-boxed case has much wear on the outer box, but it has no printing on it, and it (and the inner box, which has much lesser wear) did their job really well, which was to protect the viewer (see our images of the viewer, both boxes, and the fronts and backs of the 19 slides).
