Kodak Transparencia Mexicolor 35mm slide / date stamped DEC 65 / "Veracruz, Ver. Avila Camacho Blvd 26 NOV 65" hand written on back by photographer

We will be listing many exceptional slides taken in Mexico by noted photographer Charles Conkling from Portland, Oregon. The years range from 1942-1965 and include both color and b&w images. There are many images of a historical nature including train and railway cars, buildings and cityscapes, markets and city life and much more. All slides are in EXCELLENT condition, having been stored in metal slide cases for more than 50 years

This is an original slide and NOT a duplicate of any kind

All slides are handled by us with dust free gloves. We carefully and lightly clean slides with a soft brush and canned air to remove surface dust and debris, and do about 10 seconds of very basic color correction on the computer when needed. No cleaning with any liquid or cloth is ever done by us to remove and fingerprints or marks. 

Check our other auctions for more slides as we combine multiple items to save on shipping costs. Up to 20 slides ship for the same cost as one, provided everything is paid for on same invoice. If you would like to combine multiple items please do not pay for anything until we send you an invoice with the adjusted shipping total

All slides are shipped in a new plastic sleeve with heavy cardboard filler pads on each side to prevent damage by the USPS delivery
