    Description

    There comes a time when everything must end.  I have lovingly and selectively assembled a collection of early movie glass "coming attraction" slides. Some were bought due to the celebrity. Some were bought for the movie's title and place in film history. Some were bought for the artwork of the graphic. Bottom line, each slide was handpicked and chosen over a run of twenty years. Now is the time for these rare pieces of film memorabilia to grace a new home.  It is not often that a collection of this calibre is put up for sale. Know that there are more slides coming in the next weeks. Opening prices are based on what I paid for the slides over the years.
    Neal Hart was a fixture of the American Western from 1916 until just before his death in 1948. That's a good long run! He  also
    carried the moniker 'America's Pal'. Good credentials all around!
    I bought this slide for its title, "The Forbidden Range" and because of the added subtitle, "A Romance of the Sheep Country".
    Somebody, it seems, was not paying attention. Or is it just a case of different times? When I went to the Internet Movie Database
    and looked at Neal Hart's filmography (with 151 titles) there were quite a few with questionable meanings. Go figure!
    This film, "The Forbidden Range" dealt with the sheep ranchers and cattle barons of old Wyoming fighting it out with the new settlers trying to force them to leave.
    The double glass slide is in excellent condition. There are no scratches or nicks and the supporting colors work. All in all, a nice one!
    (A Romance of the Sheep Country) ?????????
    The last piece of information concerns shipping. I am an American but living here in Australia. The bulk of this collection travelled here to Australia with us on the move eleven or so years ago. That is where
    the slides will be shipped from.
    The base weight for shipping a package to the United States is 500 grams, just over a pound.
    The charge for that is (U.S.).
    Now for 500 grams I can certainly combine multiple slides. Depending on
    the slides being the double glass version (mid 1924
    and earlier) or the cardboard framed variety will dictate
    the weight and how many I can send at one shipping. At least 5 or 6 slides can be shipped together for the same price. I just have to check the final weight of the box and keep it at 500 grams or less. So the short
    answer on shipping is; buy multiples and I will always do my best to COMBINE SHIPPING.
    It is best to use PayPal for paying. Safer for you and for me. As soon as funds clear, the package will be sent out. Be aware that
    due to this Covid 19 mess still affecting mailings, shipping could take 4 to 5 weeks. Usually
    it is quicker but it can take that long.
    Bottom line, both the U.S and Australia have Post Offices that work. We have never lost a package traveling in either direction.
    Good Luck!
