talking viewmasters.  Can't say as I recall those, but what a cool idea

I remember reels showing my old home town and mountain views.

now, if it's a toploader now, how to do read the little caption that goes with each picture? see how on the 70s version there's that little window where you can read the caption. what gives!?!?!?

It is all coming back to me now.

It is all coming back to me now.
i remember that flat eyepanel on the 70s one was a design flaw. looks like they improved on that.

i'm actually out the door to pick me up some! viewmasters, yo!

You can make your own Viewmasters ...

They're still actually being sold new at toy-shops.etc (I used to work at Toys'r'us), for those who can't afford video ipods.

Forget video ipods.  I'd rather have a viewmaster ;D

I like the 70's/80's style. I have one like that..I found it at Goodwill. Vaughn has one of the newer ones...but I don't like the look of it....I am not one for changing looks of things too often. About a year ago, I got a lot of old viewmaster reels on Ebay...they are really cool! ;)

I still have the old 70's/80's style viewmaster with some Peanuts reels and other assorted ones that I can't remember. I think I may have some Winnie the Pooh reels also. When I was but a wee lad, early 70's, I had the GAF talking viewmaster. Those had a little plastic record attached to the reel. I've gotten nostalgic lately and been searching for another talking one. The talking viewmaster is reasonable enough in price but the reels are a bit pricey.

It's been so long since I've seen ours, but I believe ours came from probably the late 70's to early 80's, as I think I inherited it from my brother who passed it on to me. I use to love the "clicking" sound of them as you'd turn it to the next "slide." That brings back a lot of fun memories of turning off the lights and projecting them on the wall. Now that I think of it, this one was a different kind of viewmaster because they projected onto the wall. Hmmm... weird...

yeah, i got one last night! i'm actually impressed. it looks good and it's comfortable to use. i just wish that caption thing was in front.

I had  a 70s style one. The reel that I remember having was one about the Little Kiddles. Of course, how many people remember Little Kiddles?




Cat

I had one of these in the early 90s, I think. I was about 3 or 4 at the time, and I remember I had a Sesame Street reel. ;D

I had mine in the later 60s, but I don't remember it looking like that 50s one.  :-\\

When I was growing up......my mother still had her ViewMaster from the 50's.  So we used that one....
but we also had the 70's version as well.

After you told me what they were I went hunting..

Anyway.

I own one, it's a plasticy yellow thing but the reel thing is in a straight line, it's almost like a slide projector. Maybe not quite the same thing.

We had one more like this.  I remember the slides being in pairs rather than a set on a wheel.  I wonder if my mum still ahs it somewhere?

Do you project it onto the wall?

There was something called "Give a Show"

Take a look here

I had the 70's style as a kid, but now that I have kids we have the modern one.  I like the rubber around the eyes, makes it comfortable.

Anyone remember "Show and Tell"?  It was a record player and TV type screen that you watched slides as the record played.

Well, these aren't in pairs, I only found two strips of slides, one had 6 on it and the other had 8 so presumably any number could be used, I guess pairs as well.

Very similar.

Were they around that long ago? Though they only appeared in the 70s...

I remember growing up and useing my mom's old viewmaster.  she had 2 of the 1950's era, and they were black metal.  And she had hundreds of different disks.

I remember a lot of them were of news events of the day.  Queen Elizabeth's Coronation, the election of Pope John XXIII, even some of the early space program.  This is in addition to those from the first years of Disneyland, construction of various dams and bridges, even Civil War Battlefields.

And does anybody remember the disks made from cartoons?  Since it was 3-D, they used clay puppets so you could really see them in 3-D.  And they had shows ranging from Star Trek and Bonanza to Flipper and Gentle Ben.

I wish I knew where they are today.  The last time I remember seeing them, my mom gave them all to my stepbrother's daughter.  That was over 25 years ago.

And does anybody remember the disks made from cartoons?  Since it was 3-D, they used clay puppets so you could really see them in 3-D.  And they had shows ranging from Star Trek and Bonanza to Flipper and Gentle Ben.

The 'Peanuts" reels I have are 3-D. I think they came with one of the first generation 3-D Viewmasters. I think the 'Winnie the Pooh' reels might be 3-D also.

And does anybody remember the disks made from cartoons?  Since it was 3-D, they used clay puppets so you could really see them in 3-D.  And they had shows ranging from Star Trek and Bonanza to Flipper and Gentle Ben.
I think my folks had a couple of the cartoon ones--one with Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron and the other with Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. I also remember one of either Yosemite or Yellowstone National Park, I can't remember which for sure, but I remember that they probably were made back in the late 50's.

What I'd like to know is: Why haven't they came out with pornographic Viewmaster disks yet? There's a fortune just waiting to be made there.

They'd have to call them Viewmasterbates ;D

this is astonishingly well-targeted spam.

i wish that you could take your digital photos and easily transform them into viewmaster slides...

ooops..did I just give away my million dollar idea?!

I had the 70s version.

living proof that jodie foster is a frickin' freak of nature.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5QGd-0X3bg&mode=related&search=

I think my folks had a couple of the cartoon ones--one with Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron and the other with Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. I also remember one of either Yosemite or Yellowstone National Park, I can't remember which for sure, but I remember that they probably were made back in the late 50's.

What I'd like to know is: Why haven't they came out with pornographic Viewmaster disks yet? There's a fortune just waiting to be made there.
^ That guy's a dick too.  :o :o :o

8) What memories!  The red thing that was like binoculars that you put little slide shows in???  Had one..Dont remember what "disks" I had but it was cool

Hahh hahh!! This is coming from our guest ... La Sine Pesroh ... err... Horse Penis Al !

I had the 70's version.  The Micky Mouse reels. Peanuts, and Casper the Friendly Ghost.
