Important Added Info: Note that glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). We have taken a digital photo of each that shows the general condition of the overall slide, and we have also made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but does not show the edges of the slide nearly as well. Condition: good to very good. The tape on the top and bottom of the slide was loose, and someone put clear tape over those areas. Learn More about condition grades
