The View Master

remember the View Master?

I didn't know until about a year ago that Jeff still really enjoys looking through a View Master

so, when we run through an antique store he looks for these things.  I found this set at SY Wilson's and bought it for him, because of the storage case.  I've never seen a View Master storeage case before, plus, it's made out of Bakelite, and y'all know my weakness for the Bakelite. 

I took this picture before I cleaned the case.... the View Master has a bad eye, but still works really well

Jeff has given 2 or 3 of these to Amzie and Evan ... It's hard to compete with HD TV, but they did spend some time clicking through the reels.  Funny how you can find a particular item once you start looking for it.  He finds these, and I can spot a chandelier in someone's car at Kroger after dark 

(please, don't judge me, I couldn't help myself)

Here is the rest of his toy collection.... 

and so .... if you see a View Master, or any cool reels out there in your junking ventures.... remember

 Mr. Jeff and how he likes to lay up in his big ole recliner and look at stuff 3D style
