Here is the history of this 3D Collection: Photographer-> Son-> 3D
Entertainment-> Sheltone Publications-> me. There were
many sets of Bettie Page 3D slides commercially available in the 50s
and a few of these slides are SIMILAR to specific slides available
in those sets. Ones which are original are Bettie Page in the boat,
Bettie Page with the red nighty, Bettie Page on the stripped blanket
and Bettie Page on the Zebra Blanket. I also have never seen the
Bettie Page holding the phone image and the Bettie Page sitting by
the military panorama image before. A few years ago someone asked if
Charles West photographed the military panorama photo and the answer
is no. Although I suspected he did not since it was a 3D image, I
called him just to verify if he ever photographed Bettie in 3D and
he said he did not. My favorites from the set are of Bettie Page
posing in the boat. I love photographs of Bettie Page doing mundane
real life activities!
3D Entertainment distributed dupe sets of these in the late 1980s.
Sheltone Publications made a card set in the mid 1990s then lent the
slides to the publishers of "Bettie Page: Life Of A Pinup Legend".
The second half of this section are scans which show both images. I
have heard if you put your hand in a karate chop position and place
it between your eyes and stare cross-eyed at the scans you will get
the 3D effect. It worked for me on image 088. You have to experiment
with the distance you hold your hand away from your head and how far
you cross your eyes.
I have a few of these vintage 3D slides of Bettie Page left and anyone interested in can contact me for details.
