Greetings vintage mates. Check out fellow WP blogger Mike Pigott’s excellent die cast toys and models site. The following reblog ticks three boxes of some of my favourite toys: the View-Master, die cast cars, and board games 🙂
Mike Pigott's Diecast Toys & Models
Mike Pigott looks at a rare game that combines a board, a View-Master viewer and reels and four Matchbox Superfast cars.
During the 1970s GAF, the manufacturer of View-Master, entered the toy market with a range of games incorporating 3D viewers and reels. One of these was a race game that had the novel idea of using Matchbox cars as playing pieces. What makes this product of interest is the fact that some of the cars included were exclusive to the set and were not available separately, resulting in them being among the rarest Matchbox models of all time.

The latest addition to TVTA’s View-Master collection is this lovely 1978 Mickey Mouse 50th anniversary gift set.
The three stories included are: “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, “Mickey And The Beanstalk” and “Mickey’s Delayed Date”.
These stories were also made available in 1978 on a blister pack titled “Mickey Mouse Jubilee”.

Mickey’s Delayed Date
Thank you for belatedly celebrating Mickey’s fiftieth with us 🙂 Check out our main View-Master page for more stereoscopic goodies to delight your eyes!
Peanuts – Good Grief, Beethoven! 1966
I tried to get some more shots of View-Master images taken by camera direct through a viewer – with varying degrees of success. I managed to get two Peanuts stories without too much blurring, and a whole bunch of random images from Sesame Street, The Flintstones, and The Steadfast Tin Soldier.
As my reel collection grows, it’s my aim to try and capture the best images possible – a lot of trial and error. Well, the following aren’t too shabby, as you can see, but nothing can beat seeing these wonderful 3D images with your own eyes through a View-Master! The modelmaking and photography techniques of certain reels is an absolute joy to behold.
Used to have a View-Master as a kid? Haven’t got one as an adult? What are you waiting for? They’re fairly inexpensive to buy on the second-hand market, and your eyes will thank you greatly 🙂 🙂
