Large Format Glass Slide (Magic Lantern Slide)
This is a Victor "Featherweight" Slide by Victor Animatograph Company in Davenport, Iowa. The slide format was patented in 1915, but theses types of slides were probably produced for several years after that.
The slide consists of an image on a sheet of glass, sandwiched between two thin sheets of cardboard (pressed paper) frame
Please examine all photos carefully. The production process on these seems to sometimes leave streaks on the image.
I do not clean my slides before selling, so there is often dust or dirt on the surface.
Size of slide: 3 1/4" X 4" (3.25 inches X 4 inches). Metric: 8.25 cm by 10.16 cm. (outside dimensions) This is sometimes called an "American sized" slide.
