8- Vtg 1940 Tru-Vue Florida Miami Jacksonville Silver Springs 3D Photos Stereo
____________________________________________________________
I have collected 3D photo memorabilia for 30+ years and it's time that I let some of my prized collectibles go.
This is a rare set of all eight vintage Tru-Vue film strip reels of 3D pictures taken of the historic Florida in 1930s and 1940s with 8 film strips being in their original red & silver boxes. Each film strip reel contains 14 different 3D stereo images for viewing within a Tru-Vue viewer stereoscope (not included). See this historic Florida as it was in these wonderful 3D photos from 75+ years ago! Today these reels are very interesting historic stuff, and all in eye-popping 3D! Complete sets almost never show up leaving collectors to find each film strip one at a time.
The 3D pictures contained within the eight strip set include views of:
Reel 1102: Beauty Spots of Central Florida
Reel 1107: Jacksonville Florida
Reel 1110: Land of the Sky
Reel 1112: Miami
Reel 1113: Miami Beach
Reel 1114: 'Round About Miami
Reel 1117: St Augustine
Reel 1120: Silver Springs Florida
Condition:
The film strip reels
are all in excellent condition and all are in their original boxes with the original cardboard inserts!   I have personally gone through each film strip reel with white gloves on and inspected every frame and every film cog. All are perfect guaranteed! I would suggest when viewing these rare films (and all other Tru-Vue films), to pull them slowly through the viewer rather than using the advance lever. This is how the cogs get torn.
All of the Red & Silver boxes have the slightest of shelf wear as to be expected as can be seen in my photos, but all flaps are present and there are no crushes or tears as can be seen in my photos. I have tried my best to photograph every aspect of the boxes and film strips. (Sorry about the blurry photo - nothing to hide, just bad photography!) Please check my pictures out and if you have any questions, please email!
About Tru-Vue from the UK Viewmaster website:
TRU-VUE Inc., Rock Island, Illinois USA manufactured the viewers and over 400 different 3D film reels. The company
was founded in 1931 and after the 1933 "Century of Progress Exposition" in Chicago grew and flourished through the
1930's and 40's. The original viewers used 35mm filmstrips, generally containing 14 stereo views, which were pulled
through the viewer using a lever (visible at the bottom of the left-hand photograph below). In 1949 Tru-Vue sold over a
million reels of film!  The quality of the 3D presented is generally very good, although the films need to be handled
carefully. Film-strips and viewers were made between 1933 and 1952. Ultimately the Tru-Vue company was acquired by
Sawyers View-Master in 1952, who wanted the rights to Disney licences held by the company.
