retailrush 10 Posted January 21, 2010 I have a batch of about 40 Magic Lantern slides. They are hand painted images and date back to approx c1900. They have been well used and I cannot say what sort of image they will produce when projeted. The colour is still very good on all of the slides. I think they were produced in Germany and depict various images and events of the day... Does anyone know what sort of price I could ask for these - or if they are even collectable in South Africa. These have been in my husband's family for just over a hundred years now - apparently they used to have the magic lantern, which my Mother-in-Law lent to somone and then the someone proceeded to take it apart and remove the lens - they never saw it again.... Any information will be appreciated. ThanX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilythepink 11 Posted January 21, 2010 These slides sound very interesting and if they have retained their colour a century later, they must be worth quite a bit. Pity about the lantern being dissected! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cali Craft and Gems 10 Posted January 22, 2010 I too have a few ML slides, but have yet to list them as I don't know their value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
