Sawyers View Master
This View Master is from the 1950's as best I can determine. It is made of Bake Lite, and I have several reels. Occasionally, I look at the reels and sometimes the grandchildren do for a very short time. Their entertainment options passed the View Master years ago. Here is a little history. I think it is interesting how its tied to our photography heritage.
"View-Master is the trademark name of a line of special-format stereoscopes and corresponding View-Master "reels", which are thin cardboard disks containing seven stereoscopic 3-D pairs of small color photographs on film. It was manufactured and sold by Sawyer's.
The View-Master system was introduced in 1939, four years after the advent of Kodachrome color film made the use of small high-quality photographic color images practical. Tourist attraction and travel views predominated in View-Master's early lists of available reels, most of which were meant to be interesting to users of all ages."
