Date unknown. People unknown. Location unknown. I have plenty of photos that I do not know anything about and thus cannot post on Shorpy.com. So at least for now, they go here on the blog.

More View-Master

Here's a small fold-out poster that was inside the box. On the back it says it's been "Revised February, 1951".

I was kind of trying to do a quick futurist thing with the leash.

Little Black Sambo View-Master



These are scanned from the original 1948 View-Master reel.
It's kind of migraine inducing after a while, but you can cross your eyes and align the two images into one to get the 3-D effect if you want.


"1 Black Mumbo and Little Black Sambo"


"2 Little Black Sambo Goes For A Stroll"


"3 The First Tiger Takes His Red Coat"


"4 He Loses All His Fine Clothes"


"5 The Tigers Try to Eat Each Other Up"


"6 Black Jumbo Gathers Tiger Butter"


"7 They Feast on Tiger Butter Pancakes"

The short history on how I acquired the View-Master can be read here.
