It's a slide from a slide projector.

35mm slide 'holder', for projection on a reflective screen. Old school stuff.

Well, I feel less bad about removing it for deterioration. Thanks, Tunnioc & ijn1944.

I have a lot of antique and vintage equipment, never got into projectors though.

Thanks again, everyone, for responding to this silly thread

Ballyhoo, I'd agree that it isn't, I removed the coin as I could tell the film was degrading. I also didn't pay $4!

Foul, or fowl?

PSA to anyone with vintage 2x2 projector slides, the film might be going

Anyone know what these film screens might be made of? (Would they impart toning? Cause PCV-like damage?)

Probably not by my measure

By antique, I mean truly antique, 100+ year old graphophone etc...

I hate saying it, but even VHS is vintage now
