Description: Complete Set 4- Vtg 1940s Hawaii Honolulu National Parks Tru-Vue 3D Stereoview Strips_______________________________________________________ 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 four vintage Tru-Vue film strip reels of 3D pictures taken of the historic Hawaii in the 1940s with all 4 film strips in matching red & silver boxes.

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 reels have seen usage and have some wear, but none have any tears or breaks! 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 boxes have slight shelf wear as to be expected as can be seen in my photos, but there is no dents or crush marks, and all flaps are present and all are in good shape. 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! Thanks for looking! PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE 3D STEREO VIEWERS, VIEWS, and CAMERAS 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 licenses held by the company.
