I had no idea these things even existed!

I loved my View Master when I was a wee little lad and wished now that I had these way back then. Looks like they are from the early days of the park. Anyone else ever seen these reels before?

I wish I had $25 to buy it now because my mom has an old viewfinder somewhere in a closet.

My brother has that set from when they were originally sold. I do believe they were sold in a gift shop on International. He's collected them from when he was like.. eight?

I had the original set as as a child as well (but had completely forgot about them until seeing this post). I'm thinking mine dated to the mid-to-late 1970s, and I'm pretty sure they were bought at one of the Int'l Street gift shops.
The View Master was a cool toy...I had view reels from lots of places I had never been, but the images made you almost feel like you had visited. Granted, you can now just Google images to see anything/anyplace you want, but the experience was different with a View Master...

I have two sets of these - one dating around 73 or 74 and the other dating sometime in the late 70's. I began looking for mine around the same time ebay had just started up, so it took well over 6 months to locate a set. I had great luck with the view master wall projector for viewing these.
