5- Vtg 1930s 3D Tru-Vue Salt Lake City Bryce Arches Zion 3D Photos 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 set of 5 vintage 1930/40s Tru-Vue films of 3D photos of Salt Lake City and of Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument, and Arches National Monument. All of which are in Utah!  Each reel contains 14 different 3D stereo images for viewing within a Tru-Vue viewer stereoscope (not included). Each reel is a sepia tone filmstrip in it's original Red & Silver box. Some of the 3D scenes in the SLC set are the Pioneer Monument, Utah State Capital, LDS Temple & Grounds, the Mormon Tabernacle and others. The views of the National Parks and Arches Monument are truely amazing!
The films included are:
#304  Bryce Canyon, UTAH
#337  Zion National Park, UTAH
#605 Cedar Breaks National Monument, UTAH
#606  Salt Lake City, UTAH
#703  Arches National Monument, UTAH
The first five of these Tru-Vue films are not "Kid" films and even though View-Master ended up purchasing the Tru-Vue company many years after the items in this set came out, they never re-issued these reels! If you are unfamiliar with these reels and the subject matter, please check out my other listings for individual reels, descriptions and in some cases, pictures of some frames in the films.
Condition:
The film strip reels...
are all in excellent condition and all are in their original red/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 are perfect guaranteed! 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 boxes have...
slight shelf wear as to be expected from 70+ year old boxes, as can be seen in my photos, but all flaps are present and there is no writing, tears, or crushes anywhere on the boxes. Each reel is in its original cardboard sleeve. 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!  Packaging on these will be very secure!

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.
