Hunting Slides
Remington Arrow & Nitro Club Slide
c. 1913-20s
Early theater slide by Remington promoting their Arrow and Nitro Club Steel
Lined Shotshells.
Stevens Open Season Slide
c. 1931-32
Given the shotguns listed and their production timeframes it appears this slide captured
the transition between hammer and hammerless shotguns. Unique in that it has more print than graphics specific to the merchandise
being promoted.
Western Shoot Shells Quail Slide
c. 1930s
The Western grpahics here matches the cardboard die-cut easel-back countertop
standup sign for Western Co.’s Field load shotgun shells from the same time period. This slide is advertising for C. C. Bruske
& Son of Good Thunder, Minnesota. Nice graphics with the quail coming right at you. Would be pretty impressive on
the big screen.
Western Xpert Quail Slide
c. Late 1920s to 1930s
Research appears to support that this slide was for the Drake Hardware store
of Burlington, Iowa. Still looking for hard confirmation.
Western Xpert Dog & Rabbit Slide
c. 1928ish
Really cool slide with what appears to be a Walker Hound chasing a cottontail
rabbit. Graphically appealing, lots of color and action. Love those ears flying in the wind on the hound. Research
appears to support that this slide was for the Drake Hardware store of Burlington, Iowa. Still looking for hard confirmation.
Western Super-X Mallard Slide
c. 1921-1930s
Great graphics with the Mallard flight coming right at the theater audience. Research
appears to support that this slide was for the Drake Hardware store of Burlington, Iowa. Still looking for hard confirmation.
Western Lubaloy Deer Slide
c. 1920s
In 1922 Western introduced a copper-washed bullet jacketing called Lubaloy.
Not to many slides with deer in the graphic. Research appears to support that this slide was for the Drake Hardware store of
Burlington, Iowa. Still looking for hard confirmation.
Western Field Shotgun Shell Slide
c. 1920-30s
Western Field Shotgun Shell magic lantern slide with Pointer. This slide
is advertising for C. C. Bruske & Son of Good Thunder, Minnesota.
Western Metallic Carteridges Slide
c. 1920s
Western Metallic Carteridges magic lantern slide with two fellows apparently
hunting squirls. Given the clothing of the hunters this slide looks to be early. This slide is advertising for C. C. Bruske
& Son of Good Thunder, Minnesota.
Stevens Rifles Shotguns Pistols
c. 1920s
