Auction History Result #292 7TH ANNUAL PARAMOUNT WEEK glass slide'24 Date Sold 5/14/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Paramount Week, the 1924 glass slide ("7th Annual Paramount Week") advertising a Paramount Studios promotion from August 31st to September 6th, featuring art of a clown holding a calendar. Note that many theaters at this time only showed the product of one or two studios, so the studios would offer these kinds of incentives to the theaters to try to get them to book only their product during a single week. Note that this was the "seventh annual" such event, indicating it began in 1918, and we know that it continued through 1939 at least (we have seen ones from several different events, including the first one, the one from 1939, and several from in between those dates)! Important Added Info: 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 holder, and we have also made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but does not show the holder (except as a dark outline). Condition: very good to fine. There is some rust on the staples, but it is minor and have no effect on the slide. The slide and holder are in about as good condition as can be expected (there is just slight aging to the holder). See below for a scan of the slide Learn More about condition grades
