    Description

    Lot of 34 odd fellows magic lantern slides with original galvanized box.  I have a few odd fellows supply catalogs from the 1910s and 1920s, these were a common supply item ordered by various odd fellow lodges for meetings and instruction and there were different sets that could be ordered.  They have odd fellow symbols as well as bible verse stories.  All seeing eye, triangle, scale, heart, feather, moon, sword, etc.   They are housed in a steel box that is embossed with the maker's name, Victor Animatograph Company in Iowa.  There is also a paper inside identifing these as Victor Featherweight Slides.  As you can see some are bible verses (Noah's ark, Roman Kings, Pillars, etc.) while others are symbols.  Also for women, the Rebekah Lodge, I see one with beehives.  All of these have light suface wear and they need a good TLC cleaning.  They each measure 4 x 3.5 inches, paper frame.  There are also a couple of metal die cut mason symbols that are round, they look like die cut stamps, perhaps they were inserted into the machine for a visual.  Estate find, enjoy!
