I'm not sure how the slide looks, but my bantam camera is one that
uses film that's physically the size of 35mm film, but with only
one row of sprocket holes.  "828 film" is what it was called (I think).
Kodak's original version of "Pony" cameras used that film too, I think 
(fuzzy memory working here).   So I'd imagine the slide made from it
to be approximately full-frame regular 35mm in size (as opposed to 6x6).

I haven't used that camera since I bought it some time ago (~$4).  Just
"play" with it from time to time.  :-)

P.S. - If one could find film, and were to use two of these for 
       3D photography (topic for this mailing list) it would make
       a fairly lightweight and small stereo camera.  It's very
       compact, and doesn't weight too much that I recall.  Could use
       two of those revere projectors you mentioned (with polarizing
       adapters).
