Glass Movie Slide: Warner Baxter / Carol Lombard "The Arizona Kid" (1930)

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.
This beautiful sepia toned slide is from the 1930 film, "The Arizona Kid". The film stars Warner Baxter and Carole Lombard, here still using the earlier (and probably real) spelling of her name, Carol. I guess with becoming a Hollywood leading lady you are entitled to an extra "e".
The film concerns Baxter as a "Robin Hood-type bandit who falls for an eastern girl, Lombard. That is when all hell breaks loose.
The slide is in very good condition. The yellow on sepia colors work well to give the slide that certain "old" feel. The images and text are all sharp. However there is a very slight emulsion mar behind the "The" of the title. Nothing to get in the way of the slide at all. I only mention it because it is there. The cardboard frame is clean and strong and the staples show no rust. This is a beautiful slide.
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!
