An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4") (Learn More) Test Pilot, the 1938 Victor Fleming military Army airplane aviation pilot romantic melodrama ("MGM's Greatest All-Star Thrill-Romance"; "Original Story by Frank Wead"; written by Howard Hawks; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a devil-may-care test pilot who has a best friend who is his mechanic, and when they make an emergency landing in a corn field, the pilot sweeps the proverbial "farmer's daughter" off her feet!) starring Clark Gable ("'King' of the screen Greater than in 'San Francisco'!"), Myrna Loy ("'Queen' of the screen Greater than in 'After the Thin Man'!"), Spencer Tracy ("Academy Award Winner Greater than in 'Captains Courageous'!"), Lionel Barrymore, Samuel S. Hinds, Marjorie Main, and Virginia Grey. Note that this was one of three movies that Gable and Tracy starred in as best friends (the other two are "San Francisco" and "Boom Town"), and all three are highly enjoyable and have aged really well, and the chemistry between the two men appears to have extended beyond their onscreen time!

Many collectors are not familiar with them, because they are incredibly rare, and are rarely offered for sale. Click HERE for a brief history of what they are and what they were used for. Note that we have provided two images at right for this glass slide. The first image is a high quality scan of just the image area of the slide that shows what it looks like with light shining through it (as it was originally seen when displayed). The second image is a photograph of the entire glass slide (including either the cardboard holder or black tape around the edges, depending on the type of glass slide it is). Clicking on either image will open a new browser window with larger, high quality versions of both images. Condition: very good to fine. the glass slide itself is in very good to fine condition; there is some slight surface "dustiness" over much of the image area, but it disappears when you look at the slide through light (and may be easily removable); otherwise, the slide is in nice condition; there is a white circle between the glass in the lower left corner that does not affect the image); the slide does not have a cardboard holder, but rather there is black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of older glass slides Learn More about condition grades
