📸 Kodak Super Aerographic Positive Plates HC (1970s) Aerial Survey Gold Hill Utah
Format:
Vintage glass photographic plates (aerographic positives), stored in original sleeves with wooden box
Description:
A fascinating vintage set of Kodak Super Aerographic Positive Plates featuring aerial survey imagery of Gold Hill, Utah. These glass plates were used in the 1970s for high-detail mapping and geological or mining exploration work. Each plate captures rugged terrain—mountain ridges, drainage patterns, and landscape textures—like a bird’s-eye time capsule frozen in glass.
Includes approximately 75 plates housed in original paper sleeves marked “VDGG Utah,” along with the original wooden storage box labeled “ER-55 Gold Hill Utah.” Plates feature black borders with registration marks and edge numbering typical of aerial survey work.
This is a partial set, with some plates missing from the original sequence. Sold as found. A unique and visually striking collection with strong appeal for collectors, historians, or creative display.

Condition:
