This set of scans came from an estate which contained one of the largest
collections of original 3D slides ever found. They were probably taken
on the West Coast since some of slides were snapped on the set of
GOD'S LITTLE ACRE (examples not included). Many feature different
areas around California as a backdrop. Hank Casper's name is scrawled
in pencil across several of the slide mounts along with the names of
several
models.
The first model is Beverly Aadland who was Errol Flynn's last
girlfriend. This section contains 340 scans and are a spectacular
reflection of photography that segues from the late 1950s to the early
1960s. I own a good portion of the Hank Casper collection and the scans
in this section are cleaned-up versions of scans which were downloaded
from a public auction site (eBay).
If you are a casual or serious collector of photography, 3D is the way
to go. It's relatively easy to start with a vintage
Realist
viewer that can be picked on eBay for a reasonable price. Then the fun
begins hunting down vintage slides. Viewing Realist format film is
superior to View-Master since the viewing area is much larger.
Anyone interested in a vintage Hank Casper 3D slide, please contact me for details.
