Auction History Result 8x128 ROUGHNECK glass slide '24 romantic close up of boxer George O'Brien & Billie Dove! Date Sold 3/11/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) The Roughneck, the 1924 Jack Conway silent romantic melodrama ("By Robert W. Service, author of 'The Spell of the Yukon'"; about a boy who grows up in difficult circumstances and he becomes a boxer, but he thinks he killed one of his opponents, so he has to go on the run to the tropics to avoid being arrested!) starring George O'Brien, Billie Dove, Harry T. Morey, Cleo Madison, and Anne Cornwall. Note that the one-sheet for this movie has a very odd image of Billie Dove painting a portrait of George O'Brien while very creepy people stare at them from outside a window! If anyone knows how this relates to this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). We have taken a digital photo of each that shows the general condition of the overall slide and holder, and we have also made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but does not show the holder (except as a dark outline). Note that the glass slides we are offering this week are from a different company than the many other glass slides we sold in previous weeks. These also measure close to 3" x 4" (they are 3 1/4" x 4"), and they also have cardboard holders, but these have square corners whereas the ones from the other company have rounded corners. Most of these are marked "Excelsior Illustrating Co.", and they are made in the U.S.A. as well. Apparently this was a competing company that only made slides for a certain amount of time, and the slides from this company are apparently far more rare than those of the other company. But in almost every other way, except for the slight shape difference, these slides are virtually identical to the other glass slides in cardboard containers that we have sold in the past. Condition: good. The slide has completely lost its cardboard holder, so that only the glass remains. One could easily make an amateur cardboard holder that would serve the same purpose, and other than not having the holder, the slide is in pretty nice condition. Please do not bid on this slide unless you can accept that it does not have a cardboard holder and is solely a single pane of glass. Learn More about condition grades
