I have not posted anything lately, so I thought I would show this off. Very nice flea market find, paid 25 cents for it ! It has the original box along with about nine reels. All in good condition and works with no problems. I am not sure of the date, but I am thinking the 50's or 60's. The view-master looks like it is made out of bakelite material. Any feedback will be appreciated ! Thanks for looking, Thrifty Gypsy.

I have the same one that my Grandparents had given me. Mine also has a battery box that holds two D cell's with a bulb. At night you clamp it on and enjoy the show.
Thanks for the love Vontrike !
That sounds pretty cool Vontrike. Mine dosen't have a light in it. It is also neat to have been given to you from your grandparents, and you still have it ! I think that collectibles are even better when they come with a story. Thanks for stopping by. T.G.
Thanks for the love officialfuel !
Thanks for the love bratjdd !
Thanks AR8Jason for the comments. I will check out the disk's for dates. I do believe that the material it is made out of is bakelite, and I think that the 50's sounds right. Always appreciate the information I get from you. Thanks for stopping by. Thrifty Gypsy
Thanks for the love, lovetheoldstuff !
I think this was the box and graphics from the very late 40's on to the 60's. My parents had one, they must have bought in Niagara Falls in around 53 !~
