Ricky’s Relics/Blackhawk Films Story
I went to Davenport, IA to buy a large storage locker full of books,(over 240 boxes). While there the owner(a house flipper/real estate agent) asked me to look at another storage locker full of stuff. Located in this mess of boxes were 3 Large boxes of slides and ephemera of Blackhawk Films Slides and materials. (The only reason I bought them was that there was a signed photo by Spanky McFarland and thought there might have been more autographs).When I finally got home and looked, I realized I stumbled across thousands of amazing originals/masters. The woman’s house where these items came out of was the film editor/negative dept. head for Blackhawk Films.
These ARE all ORIGINAL SLIDES from the ACTUAL well known photographers, which were later duped and sold in Blackhawk Films catalogs. Her name and picture are actually in the back of the catalogs. Also, in the box were “sample copies” or what I believe were back-ups to each of the masters. There were over 15,000 slides in the boxes and I’ve have made copies/jpegs of every slide sold for a database of these rare finds. If interested in any particular set or jpeg please contact me via eBay or contact info.
Hav'nt attempted to clean slides
Please ask any questions...I have thousands of Blackhawk Masters and sample copies
