Society for Visual Education 3D stuff

[P3D AMUNDSON_MICHAEL_A. <amunmich@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At a garage sale over the weekend, I happened upon a collection of 3d 
stuff including a projector and slides apparently manufactured by the 
Society for Visual Education and polaroid.  The projector will show 
either film strips or slides and came in the original box with 
instructions.  Also, there must 30 boxes of slides, some mounted and some 
in 35 mm pairs showing a variety of scenes including western national 
parks (Bryce, Zion, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite) Washington, 
D.C., and the World's fairs at New York and San Francisco.  They are all 
in color and are dated 1939 or 1940.  They are all in special slide boxes 
with leather (?) covers.  Additionally, the lot came with 2 stereo slide 
viewers (one made in France and the other Germany) that fold down into a 
carton-shape.  One has a sort of telescoping (XXXX) bracket for 
focusing.  
        Oh yeah, the projector is what I would call and over and under 
format in that the lenses are set one atop the other and the slides, in 
glass mounts, are in this same format.  
        Along with all of this stuff, I also got four boxes of 2x2" glass 
mounts and about 8 boxes of Kodak frames for slides.  Finally, there are 
about 20 pairs of polaroid 3-d glasses (aviator style) and a box of 25 
polaroid cardboard (paper) 3-d glasses that sit on your nose.
        Any information about what I have would be greatly appreciated (I 
could not find anything about this company in Waldsmith).  Also, because 
I purchased it 800 miles away while at a history conference, I had to 
leave everything at a relatives until I could get my truck there to bring 
it home!

Thanks!
