Box for holding slides. There is the faintest of logos embossed on the front latches, but all I can make out is that is starts with the letter A. It’s a portable box, presumably for either that lecture you’re giving, or the party you to go where you are the armchair traveler hopefully not boring people to death.
Whoever owned this box was both a detail orientated person and traveled quite a bit.
Rag Day – Belfast 1964 occupies slot No.1, View of Athens, Slot No 48, Apt. 303 Toronto, No. 92, Niagara Falls No 123.
The slides in here are not those ones, but the list remains, tantalizingly precise and vivid. Nigel, Adrienne, Roger & Melvyn — Spot No. 84.


Status: Mr. OP has already embarked upon the scanning of the slides held within. Soon this box will be both obsolete and useless.

Armed with the Microcassette-Corder from your previous post my inner OCD self would shine making an audio account of all these wonderful slides. Then, if I sync’d up playback right, I could have an audio accompaniment to the slide show. Nice.
🙂 That appeals to my inner OCD too. Priorities, priorities…
too beautiful a box to be useless 😉
Definitely! It’s a great object. I have a crappy plastic one from when making slides was part of preparing a lecture; this one outclasses it totally and the contents list sounds brilliant. When you run out of things to photograph, you could start restaging the slides based on the descriptions.
Restaging the slides – brilliant!
