View-Master





A few months ago I was able to borrow some old photo negatives and film reels from a family friend so I could scan them into the computer. They came from a container that was sealed and never opened since 1964. Besides the multitude of negatives from the '40s and '50s, inside was also a View-Master box full of the discs and an old View-Master. The View-Master itself is probably from the '40s (and so are many of the discs) so that's how old I'd date the box to be.


It's hard to see but the box is made out of a gold foil-like paper. Very classy.


Every kid needs their instructive Bible stories in 3-D.
It's a bit out of focus because this is on the inside of the lid.
