Vintage 1940 Tru-Vue Gaspe Peninsula 3D Stereo Viewer Film Strip Stereoviews Quebec Canada
_______________________________________________________________________
I have collected 3D photo memorabilia for 30+ years and it's time that I let some of my prized collectibles go.
This is an original set of four 3D Tru Vue film strips made in the 1940s that features the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec Canada. This black and white filmstrip reel contains 14 different 3D stereo pairs or images for viewing with a Tru-Vue viewer stereoscope (not included). The reel is in it's original red & silver box and is in near mint condition - I have checked each of the films and they are all the right films in the correct boxes and all films are in great condition with no tears, broken cogs, or broken films. Each film has it's inner protective sleeve. The boxes are as close to perfect as the films are with just minor shelf wear. If you're looking for the best 3D Tru Vue filmstrips to commemorate a visit to the Gaspe Peninsula, or if you just want to experience a 3D experience from  your own home, then this is the set for you!
For those interested in viewing these I would suggest pulling them slowly through the viewer rather than using the advance. This is how the cogs get torn...
Please check out my photos and if you have any questions, please email!
Thanks for looking!
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 licences held by the company.
