View Master Stereoscope

View Master Stereoscope by GAF USA 1960s-70s & Picture Reels

The first View Master system was introduced in 1939 and the newest one is Virtual Reality using a smart phone.

View Master is the trademark name of a line of special-format stereoscopes and corresponding View Master “reels”, which are thin cardboard disks containing seven stereoscopic 3-D pairs of small transparent color photographs on film.  For more info go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View-Master.
