old viewmaster value?
« on: October 28, 2008, 02:08:51 pm »
I bought this viewmaster in a second hand store about 40 years ago for $10.00...I have never seen one quite like it since then and wonder if anyone knows the value of this today...
thanks, Carlotta

I have no idea of the value but yours is very interesting.  Viewmasters have been around for a lot of years and I would think there are collectors and a market for such an item.
