Description: Vtg 1930 3D Tru-Vue Floral Case w Viewer +12 CANADA Stereo Reels 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 vintage Tru-Vue viewer with 12 Films in their original embossed Floral library case. Not only is the 3D effects in the film incredible, but the condition of the Tru-Vue films & boxes are also in incredible condition! The Floral Library Case:This is a vintage Tru Vue viewer with 12 Films in their original embossed library case. This case is referred to as the Floral case because of the embossed floral design on the lid. It is a great find and the 3D effect in the films is incredible! The brown library case measures about 5" wide x 7" long x 2-3/4" tall. The box is in excellent condition - the lid is attached and very secure, as shown in my photos. The films and viewer fit perfectly inside. The Tru-Vue Viewer:This Viewer is one of the best and most beautiful viewers that Tru-Vue ever made. It is made of brown / white bakelite with a white knob on the advance lever. The Tru-Vue logo is inset and painted with white paint to match the knob. The lenses are clean and clear. It has no cracks, breaks, or scratches, as can be seen in my photos. Not only is the 3D effects in the film incredible, but the condition of the Tru-Vue films & boxes are also in excellent condition! All 12 Tru-Vue Film Reels:All 12 film reels have all been checked frame by frame with white gloves on with every frame and every film cog checked. All are guaranteed perfect; and all boxes have the correct films inside - This is something I have not found to be true on many of the sets I have bought on ebay. Anyone interested in Canada History would love these! 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 12 Tru-Vue Original Boxes:All of the original boxes are in excellent condition with just slight shelf wear as can be seen in my photos. All have all box flaps and films are all in their correct boxes - not bad for little boxes that are 70 years old! Both sides of the boxes are shown in my photos. None have any splits, or missing flaps. The 12 Tru-Vue Films Included in the set are:#1601 Province of Alberta#1602 Banff no. 1#1605 Banff no. 4#1606 The Banks of the Saskatchewan#1607 The Gaspe Peninsula#1612 Kootenay National Park#1613 Montreal#1616 Quebec#1619 Victoria#1620 Waterton Glacier#1621 Winnipeg#1622 Yoho National Park Please check out my photos and if you have any questions, please email! Thanks for looking! PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE 3D STEREO VIEWERS, VIEWS, and CAMERAS About the Tru Vue Company from 3DStereo:The Tru-Vue Company of Rock Island, IL debuted their product at the 1933 Century of Progess 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, (see Novelview, here at the 3Dstereo eMarket) their marketing and choice of titles made them a smashing success, bringing sepiatone 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.
