Comments & Discussion
One notable characteristic of this slide is that it is a Kodak product, but not a Kodachrome slide as most of the other Kodak slides from this era seem to be. There are very few Ektachrome slides in these archives. This one was discovered at an estate sale in the Chicago area.
Condition, Aging & Authenticity: Little/no discoloration on the front of the slide’s mount, slightly more on the back.
