Paul,

These Underwood slides are wonderful and your picture has come out very well too. Do you know how many comprise the full set? Do you have the viewer too?

Good Morning David.....

Picked up this sent on ebay in 1999 for $35.00......

There are a total of 80 slides in the box.....

It is covered with the same cloth that is used for the khaki uniforms....

The loose ones I have picked up here and there and some are duplicates to the ones in the box.....

I should also add that the slides in the box are Underwoods......

The others are marked:

Meadevill, Pa. USA and St. Louis, Mo. USA Copyright 1900 by B. L. Singly

and

Works Studios, Washington DC, Arlington NJ, Littleton NH.

Hi David,
Not a full set, only 5, no viewer I am afraid.
Lokks like Mike is lucky enough to have a full set.
