ED'S VIEW-MASTER

Woodsy and Fellow Moonbasers,

Here's my View-Master and reels. It's one of the very few things I still have from my childhood.

Woodsy adds; there are many more View-Master posts going way back over a decade, including many from Scoop and also our earliest View-Master post, from 2009, Jim Wilson's Space-Age Gafs. Just click on the label Optical Toys to see them all.

    The North Pole is in New York ? I thought it was a bit further north.

  2. Beautiful reels Ed, some really old treasures there. I so remember Mighty Mouse, I'd almost forgotten about him so thanks! Great to see the Man in Space. A classic. there's more of these on MC from 2009 if you click the Optical Toys label - scroll down to the very first post ever on GAFS on MC. Love that black unit too, not sure I've seen one before.

    1. seems View-Masters were a popular item Woodsy! Mighty Mouse was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid and the Man in Space reel is a treat! I'll check out some of those early posts as well.

  3. The toys of yesteryear are always more interesting than todays. Youngsters might not agree

    1. I agree Khus but then again I'm biased!
