1887 N172 Old Judge Original Glass Slides
 

I have seen these for sale recently. Are they legit? If so how rare are they? Is this a fair price?

Crickets ..,
 

I’m sure the Old Judge Expert’s will chime in . But I’m not sure why that would be on a magic slide original or not .

Negative
 

the image should be negative,no?

Most certainly not "used in the production" of the N172 cards.

Most likely used in the early 1900's in a slide show, possibly in an early movie house. As stated, definitely not for production of the cards.
