circa 1909 color transparencies?
 

I just won this transparency today that I think is Wid Conroy. Was wondering if anyone had seen these before and opinions on wether this is in fact Conroy. He was a pretty great third baseman and I swear Ive seen this pose before. Also it appears to be a Senators uniform but I am not 100%

I also won this one that I think is Jim Delahanty but wanted opinions on it as well (Attached the back of this so its reversed. The batter is actually right handed as Jim Delahanty was)
Thanks!

awesome! thanks for the links Todd :) Im going to have to have them in person now to tell who they are. Legendary maybe right that that is Red Dooin. it does look like a pHillies uniform now the more I look at it

projector
 

I actually had some of these slides (non sports) and also had an original tin projector. You can find various projectors that these went in on Ebay for anywhere from $50 to $500 each. Very cool!

Those are great ! I have a Magic Lantern projector but haven't found any good baseball slides for it .

Awesome! Can I make a photo out of these?

Yep . We talked about this before on here and all I can remember is those who did it said you need a full light source . A scanner might not cut it .

Ill have to try it. These would look killer in a 8x10

A regular scanner that has templates for 35mm negatives and transparencies (slides) most likely would not work as the light source scans for the width of image. A photographic flat bed scanner would work as the light source is designed to do a full flatbed scan with the negative/slide holders masking the light for the appropriate size, usually up to 4x6. You can also run a flat scan of the whole bed which is done for oversized negatives, usually 8x10 contact negatives. The program used with the scanner allows you to chose the type of medium - grayscale/b&w negative, color negative, color positive.

As one of the other posters allude to, these are called magic lantern slides. I have about a half dozen or so in my archives, all Olympic swimmers and track athletes.
