That ebay link is FABULOUS. That is EXACTLY the item, although the photos are slightly different. I have no idea how the seller took the pictures...I could not do that, but they are exactly the same "type" of picture, same era. Thank you so much for finding that link. Now I will keep watch to see if it sells, but at least I know what to search for. I tried looking last night on ebay but everything I typed in brought up no results.

Thanks again!!!

Antique Questions Forum / Hand-held peep show

« on: September 05, 2010, 08:26:13 am »

We are cleaning out my parents' house and found this little hand-held peep show, likely from Boston, Scolley Square era (as my dad tended to go there when he was young). That said, he would have bought it at any time...haha. Anyway, you hold it up to a light (the light must enter from the side), you focus using the viewfinders at the front, and you spin the wheel to see six lovely ladies, topless, in very clean poses. The photos look to be in color. Any idea if this is worth anything?

It's about 2 inches by 1 inch. I have attached an admittedly bad picture from my phone (of the device, not of the ladies).
