A Pair of View-Master 3D Stereoscopic Viewers with Collector Case and Many Reels
Description
This lot features a pair of manual View-Master 3D stereoscopic slide viewers constructed of molded plastic. The group includes one red viewer and one blue viewer, both featuring the embossed View-Master logo and a 3D emblem on the front housing. Each viewer is equipped with a signature orange plastic manual advancement lever on the right side.
The set includes a blue molded plastic storage unit with a textured finish and integrated handle. The front of the case is embossed with a stylized graphic of a View-Master reel and the text View-Master COLLECTOR’S CASE.
