Set of 2 Vtg 1943 Ancient Egypt Tru-Vue 3D Photos Film Reel Strip View-Master Stereo 3D
__________________________________________________________
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 complete set of two vintage Tru-Vue film strip reels of 3D pictures taken of Egyptian historical sights with both film strips in matching red & white boxes. Each film strip reel contains 14 different 3D stereo images for viewing within a Tru-Vue viewer stereoscope (not included). See Egypt as it was in the early 1940s without the wear and tear of 14.7 million tourists each year.
The films show scenes such as: Cairo Street Scenes in the bustling town of 1 million people (which today has grown to 96 million), the Museum at Cairo, the Great Pyramids, the Temple at Luxor, the Gateway to the Temple of Karnak, ancient hieroglyphic writings, the Tomb of Hapshepsut, , Colossi of Memnon. the Tomb of King Tut (which was excavated a few years ago according to the 1943 text), the Sphinx of Sakara,  the Great Sphinx of Gizeh, the Great Colonnade, and the acres of ruins that used to be ancient Egypt.  See these sights as they once were in these wonderful 3D photos from 75+ years ago! Today these reels are very interesting historic stuff! Complete sets almost never show up leaving collectors to find each film strip one at a time.
This set contains:
1503 Along The Nile
1509 Egypt
Condition:
The film strip reels
are all in excellent condition and all are in their original red and white 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.
Both of the boxes
have slight shelf wear which is to be expected after 75 years, but all flaps are present and there is no writing, tears, or crushes anywhere on the
boxes. Each reel is in its original cardboard sleeve. I have tried my best to photograph every aspect of the boxes and film strips. Please check my
pictures out and if you have any questions, please email!  Packaging on these will be very secure!
Thanks for looking!

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.
