2- Vtg 1940s 3D Tru-Vue Historic Hollywood Bowl Vine Blvd Film Reel Stereoviews

Description: 2- Vtg 1940s 3D Tru-Vue Historic Hollywood Bowl Vine Blvd Film Reel Stereoviews_____________________________________________ 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 set of two Tru-Vue reels. Each black and white filmstrip reel contains 14 different 3D stereo images of Hollywood's popular attractions. They are for viewing within a Tru-Vue viewer stereoscope (not included). Both reels are in their original red & silver box. The film was copyrighted in the 1940s. Today these reels are very interesting historic stuff, and all in eye-popping 3D! This rare 3D film strip set of two includes:#509 Hollywood -1#510 Hollywood -2 Views from the set include:Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd Handprints and footprints outside Grauman'sThe Hollywood Bowl (Two 3D views)Hollywood's Radio City / NBC Broadcasting StudiosColumbia Square CBS Broadcasting StudioHollywood Brown Derby Restaurant on VineEarl Carrol's Theater and Restaurant1940s ladies on Hollywood BlvdThe Plaza Hotel & The Broadway Hollywood on VineWarner Bros First National StudioPilgrimage Play Theater...and much more! Condition:The film strip reels... are all in excellent condition and all are in their original red and silver 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 boxes... have slight shelf wear as to be expected and as can be seen in my photos, 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! PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE 3D STEREO VIEWERS, VIEWS, & CAMERAS About the Tru Vue Company from 3DStereo:The Tru-Vue Company of Rock Island, IL debuted their product at the 1933 Century of Progress World's Fair in Chicago, 6 years and a World's Fair earlier than the View-Master® debut. Although the 3D Stereo Filmstrip format was not brand new, their marketing and choice of titles made them a smashing success, bringing sepia tone 3D Stereo Filmstrips into the homes across America. The original views were initially made with a 5"x7" Stereo Graflex camera and mounted as black and white prints, then copied onto 35mm transparency film. Each filmstrip usually contains 14 stereo pairs. Some 17 years later, after competing for 11 years against the color 3D Stereo reels of View-Master®. Tru-Vue tried their hand at color too, but was soon purchased by their competitor, View-Master, who needed the lucrative Disney licenses that Tru-Vue had obtained. For about a year, View-Master produced in Portland, Tru-Vue Filmstrips in both color and black & white film (mostly Disney subjects) and then discontinued the product after an 18 year run. Tru-Vue 3D stereo cards and 2D cards were not made by the Tru-Vue Company, but were a View-Master bargain-priced product, utilizing the Tru-Vue name which they owned after purchasing Tru-Vue.Today, Tru-Vue 3D Stereo Filmstrips, are collected and viewed by a smaller, but extremely active group of collectors, who regard Tru-Vue's coverage of World's Fairs, Hollywood, Night Clubs, Fashion and Risque as unparalleled in the area of 3D Stereo.
