Show off your Weekly Finds.

This is what happens when you put things away in a drawer: you forget what you got! My weekly find this week is my Addams Family Viewmaster slide set; I had totally forgotten I had it.



I remembered I had these, but it was fun to look at them again:



...especially since the Lost in Space slides feature Robby the Robot.

As a collector and fan of View-Master (and other 3-D viewers), let me say that those are beautiful and desirable sets.

There was something so quaint and so fiddly about the early Viewmaster sets, with their inner sleeves, little booklets, etc. When I become a "Star Trek" fan in 1980, it was fun getting the then-current "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" set, then remembering that I'd seen an original series set somewhere. I think I went to about 20 shops in two days while I tried to recall where I'd seen it. Then a few weeks later, I realised I needed "Mr Spock's Time Trek" ("Yesteryear"), the animated series ep., and the search began anew. With "Star Trek II", View-masters had switched to carded packaging - and no booklet - and it's never really been the same since...

Yeah, I have some of the carded versions of earlier slides (like the Batman TV show), but only to get an inexpensive version of the slides - the packaging pales in comparison to the original.

Wow, great finds Feep.  Don't suppose I can borrow the Woody Woodpecker veiwmaster slides for.......ever ?

Nice View-Master sets! I'm a View-Master collector, too. Isn't it cool seeing the Addams Family in color?

Nice View-Master sets!

View-Master reels by Therin of Andor, on Flickr

A quick sample of my "stereo pictures" reels. Re-releases were called "3D" reels, whether taken with a stereo camera or whether they used regular studio stills tweaked into 3D. But there's a huge difference in effect. My recent purchase is a new, original story, designed for presentation as a View-Master product: "The Man with F.E.E.E.T" by Eric Drysdale (2010). A very amusing story - and yes - it has a booklet! I bought it online from 3Dstereo.com

And I'm having fun oggling them too!

Wish I could share the actual stereo slides!
