 I have seen these quite often in the SSA Folios, but I have no idea 
 where they came from or if they are still available. As you are in all 
 the same folios, next time you see one in there you should contact the 
 submiter and see where they got them. More than likely it will be old 
 stock and no longer avaialable.<---

On the contrary, as they were originally designed and produced by the firm of 
Albion Engineering (the same company as produced the Hawk projector), when 
the owner of the company decided to retire a few years ago one of the members 
of the Stereoscopic Society who owns an engineering and machining company 
bought the dies and the rights to the Albion Foils, and they are now in 
production again.

Indeed several of the normal stereo suppliers were negotiating prices, but 
I'm not directly involved, so I don't know the outcome for those of you in 
America.

However they are one of the stock items that the Equipment Secretary of the 
Society carries as a service to our members. 

If you are not a member of the Stereoscopic Society (founded in 1893, and the 
oldest 3-D imaging society in the world, you can find details at our website:
