Unpacking collectables

#ViewMaster

@SecularJeffrey
I found those fascinating as a naive kid way back when. Still have mine.

@Sue_AS I've been picking up old ones at second hand stores for years. I have a bunch of vintage discs too

In the 70s ours were red plastic

@SecularJeffrey
My two are black plastic. I just have animals in Africa discs, museums of the world, zoo animals and I don't remember what else, lol. I really enjoyed them. Now I think I will dig them out of the closet and take a look at them again. Thanks for bringing back some good childhood memories.🤗
@SecularJeffrey I still have some of my mom's View Master reels from the late 1940s. I loved looking at them when I was a kid but most of them are in very poor condition now.
@uppityokie @SecularJeffrey
It is possible to restore those. The techniques used are the same as film restoration.
@SecularJeffrey Here is my #ViewMaster. I also have a Holmes stereoscope and a FujiFilm 3D camera.

@tanquist Dinosaurs! That would be too scary in True 3D!
@SecularJeffrey @tanquist Fellow 3D folks - yay!! I’m away from home at the moment so I can’t show you, but I’ve got a ViewMaster and a bunch of reels, I have a Fuji W3 (and a Holga 120 N 3D!) and have just started collecting Stereo Realist slides!
