Lantern slide in color showing "The Snow Ball." A snow ball the size of a house knocks a house off its foundation. A man and woman are pictured screaming from the front windows of the house. The upper right corner of the slide is broken off and missing. A black and white label with the words "A.D. Handy, Stereopticons and Supplies, Boston" is applied to one end of the slide. On the other side of slide typed in black is "The Snow Ball--9. 'In time would be able to move off a house.'" Printed in black on other side is "A.D. Handy, Stereopticons & Supplies, 17 Broomfield St., Boston." "Economic Series" is printed twice in silver letters within black frame on other side of slide.
