View-Master Memories - History of View-Master 1939-2000
by Wolfgang & Mary Ann Sell
Read about the history of the View-Master company from the early days at 1939 Sawyer's to the products of 2000 from the minds at Fisher-Price.
This phenomenal work outlines the early making of blue-ring reels, the changes from Bakelite to
plastic and ideas that never made it into the marketplace. Information about View-Master that
is not commonly known which involved interviewing many company "old timers" and countless
hours of investigation and research. Mary Ann and Wolfgang Sell have documented a history of
one of America's classic toys. Their research opens a window into a world heretofore unknown
to the View-Master collector.
This is a reprint of the limited edition 2000 book with a newly redesigned color cover; softbound; 8-1/2x11; 300 pages.
