This is an auction unlike any we have ever done before!
      Over a two year period, we auctioned an incredible collection of coming attraction movie glass slides in our regular Sunday auctions (it had been compiled by a collector over many decades). We have not auctioned any glass slides for quite some time. But now, we were consigned a really wonderful collection of these slides, and not only do they include over 100 "regular" glass slides (ones for movies), but they also include wonderful advertising glass slides from the 1920s, and some of them are sets of slides, and we have left those as sets! We highly doubt we will be consigned another collection like this in the near future (or possibly ever), so please don't miss out on this opportunity to purchase these ultra-rare glass slides!
      In addition, we have gathered up all of the photographic transparencies, negatives, and 35mm slides we have been consigned over the past few years, and those have been included in this auction as well (some are singles, and many are sets). Where did these come from? Studios would create photographic transparencies to promote their latest movies (or stars), and they would sometimes send these to publicists, theater owners, newspapers, and others, to aid them in promoting the movie. We cannot say for certain what the origin of most of these transparencies and negatives are, but we feel certain that the majority of them were created by the studio at the time the movie it was promoting was made (there are a few that were likely created by dealers to make reproductions, and we clearly identify those)!

Where are the many bulk lots and our usual "Sunday items" regularly offered on Sunday?
      We are taking a break from our regular Sunday offerings of exhibitor magazines, movie magazines, German programs, hardcover & softcover movie books, pressbooks, sheet music, and bulk lots while we offer transparencies & glass slides this week, but know that we have a HUGE number of items waiting to be auctioned in our "regular" Sunday auctions, so please know that they will return in one week on Sunday March 11th, and almost every week thereafter. 

HERE IS A CHART OF THE ITEMS IN THIS AUCTION:
(to better help you find the types that interest you)

All of the following must be shipped in our standard size flat packages for $11 U.S. shipping:
8x001-8x036 advertising glass slides (including some incredible sets)
8x037-8x177 movie glass slides
8x178-8x187 presskits with transparencies or slides

All of the following can be shipped in our small size flat packages for $7 U.S. shipping:
8x188-8x208 sets of 35mm slides
8x209-8x271 photographic transparencies (8" x 10", 4" x 5", & 2 1/4" x 2 1/4")
8x272-8x311 photographic negatives (8" x 10", 5" x 7", 4" x 5", & 2 1/4" x 2 1/4")

How are these Sunday auctions different from our Tuesday and Thursday auctions?
The short answer is that they are almost exactly like our Tuesday and Thursday auctions, but with one important difference. This is that they do NOT end at 7 PM CST like those other auctions do, but instead they begin ending at 3 PM CST, which means that our European bidders will not have to get up in the middle of the night to bid at the end of our auctions (and of course, most of our American bidders will not be working on Sundays, so they will have easy access to their computers as well).

About the condition
Note that we give an overall condition grade to every item we sell ("fine", "very good to fine", "very good", "good to very good" or "good"). PLEASE REALIZE THAT THESE ARE VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHIC ITEMS THAT MAY HAVE SURFACE DIRT AND SMUDGES, AND THEY ALSO MAY HAVE SOME OTHER DEFECTS THAT MAY BE VISIBLE IN OUR IMAGES. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the item for minor defects that we did NOT describe.

If an item is in less than very good condition, should you not bid on it? Of course not, as long as you are accepting of the defects the item has! The item that is graded "very good", but has as many minor defects as is allowed under the "very good" definition is only in SLIGHTLY better condition than the best of the "good to very good" items. So please take the time to look at the larger images of items that interest you, and see if the defects are the sort that you can "live with", or are willing to restore. Some of these items are EXTREMELY rare, and it may be years before you see them offered again!

Payment Options

We accept all major credit cards via phone at +1 (417) 256-9616 during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9 AM CST to 5 PM CST except from 12 to 1 when we take lunch), via e-mail, or via fax at +1 (417) 257-6948.

You can send a check or money order (if you do, enclose your address and details about what you purchased) to:
Bruce Hershenson
Attn: Payments
P.O. Box 874
West Plains, MO 65775

If it is your best payment option, you can pay by Western Union, but please don't send cash (as we can't be responsible for lost cash).

If your order requires a shipping quote, please request it through our Checkout system. Please note that we are still developing this checkout system, so while you may request your quote using it, we do not quite have it ready to complete payment (although we hope to have that added soon), but payment may still be completed using whatever method you have used in the past. If you run into any sort of problem requesting your quotes, please e-mail Phillip right away so we can get it addressed.

U.S. buyers need to enclose either $7 or $11 shipping (see the chart above to know how each item ships), which includes full insurance!

Missouri customers: You must pay an additional 7.162% sales tax on your purchases. If your order is sent within the state of Missouri, we MUST collect this tax (if it is shipped to another state, we do not collect the tax).

Will your order be shipped to you by UPS?
UPS does NOT automatically require a signature to deliver packages, so if you want the signature to be required, you will need to pay the extra $3.00 UPS charges for "signature required" Delivery Confirmation, and please realize that they will then NOT leave the package, and you may well have to go to the UPS facility yourself to pick it up. But if you prefer this, that is fine, and if you have any other special requirements, please tell us when you are paying for your order. IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THAT YOU WANT SIGNATURE REQUIRED, THEN YOUR PACKAGE WILL BE SENT WITHOUT SIGNATURE REQUIRED!

You CAN usually combine shipment!

NOTE: These Sunday items need to be sent in flat packages so... *they can be combined with these auctions: Tuesday February 14th single lobby cards 'kissing' stills Thursday February 16th misc. items including Spanish heralds Tuesday February 21st single stills Thursday February 23rd lots of 2 or more stills from the same title Sunday February 26th 'regular' Sunday items Tuesday February 28th window cards & "oversized flat items" of all types ($15) Thursday March 1st 'flat' items only (but know that we will only combine when we know your purchases couldn't be damaged by combining, and if we do combine, realize you will then have to pay the actual cost of shipping) Sunday March 4th 'regular' Sunday items *they must be sent separately from these auctions for an additional shipping charge: Sunday February 12th rolled 27" x 41" one-sheets Sunday February 19th rolled 27" x 40" one-sheets Sunday February 26th or March 4th 'bulk lot' Sunday auctions Thursday March 1st 'rolled' items Tuesday March 6th half-sheets and Japanese B2s Thursday March 8th inserts and Italian locandinas

Note that we not only allow you to combine as many items as you want from a single set of Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Sunday auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge for all of the items, but we also allow you to wait until the next five sets of auctions end (a total of six sets of auctions) so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions (if possible), and that means there is a chance you could combine items from up to six of our sets of auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge (assuming those items fit into the same type of package). We KNOW there are other sellers who charge a little less on shipping than we do, but we know that our packaging is the best there is, and our orders virtually never arrive damaged (and on the very rare times that they do, all our U.S. packages are fully insured, and FULL INSURANCE IS INCLUDED IN THE U.S. SHIPPING CHARGE).

DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE $11 U.S. SHIPPING!

Non-U.S. buyers must pay the actual cost of shipping their order (you can choose whatever method you prefer, but know that the U.S. Post Office has eliminated Surface Mail, so we can only send via Express or Airmail), plus $3, for both the best packaging materials you have ever seen and a separate printed invoice mailed to you.  All non-U.S. buyers must tell us if they want the package sent insured or uninsured at the time they pay for their order.

Have you heard about our Pay and Hold Program?
This lets non-U.S. buyers pay for their purchases from 4 consecutive weeks (a total of 12 auctions and around 8,000+ items!), and we then send all your purchases at once saving you LOTS of money!  Click HERE to learn more about becoming one of the hundreds of our non-U.S. buyers who are already part of this program.

Learn more about how to save money on shipping by shipping to friends/family in the U.S., insurance, and customs fees.

     IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please bear these approximate shipping cost in mind BEFORE you place a bid (if you live outside the U.S.). The vast majority of our customers want a very securely packed tube, and will pay the extra shipping cost involved (and of course, it goes to the Post Office or UPS, and not us!). Please do not ask us to pack less securely, as that would likely result in a damaged order.
    Some sellers are sending by Ground UPS to Canada, but that incurs large "brokerage fees", so we do not recommend it.  Note that there are also some sellers sending non-U.S. packages via a "Letter" rate, but of course this is not legal, and we can not do this.  We have outlined the possibilities for sending non-U.S. packages above, so please read that carefully, BEFORE placing a bid!

DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (the actual cost of shipping plus $3 outside the U.S.)!
