1959 Extra copy of Reel 2 of View-Master Packet No. B 309: “Aesop’s Fables.” Portland, OR: Sawyer's Inc. $5 from Derek Metzer, Luxemburg, WI, through Ebay, May, ’14.

Stories on this reel include TMCM: four images. FC: one image. SW: two images. I am cataloguing this little piece seven years after we received it! Cataloguing it gives me a chance to show the interior packaging.

This seems to be the more original packaging of a set whose pictures would remain the same. Notice that the copyright here belongs to Sawyer's in Portland, with no mention of GAF in New York. See my comments on the GAF version.

Abstract At last I have found the View-Master Aesop that I have looked for so long! In GA the grasshopper has slept all summer and then danced in the fall; the former helps set up a rhyme for the fact that he wept in winter. DS gets only two images. There is a great leaping fox in the one image for FG! TMCM features great lighted eyes on the cat, and a fine paw reaching inside the TM's hole-home. TH has a great leaping hare at the race's start. The other fables here are FC, SW, FS, and LM. A...

I take the occasion of this gift to highlight the 16-page pamphlet that comes with the three reels described elsewhere. The booklet walks through the three reels offering the story for each of the strong images. I have also included this booklet among the collection's published books under 1959. What a thoughtful gift!

Abstract

Partly in full-color and partly in duochrome, this 16-page 4" x 4" pamphlet is true to its visually acute brand. Each fable gets at least one sharp image. My favorite is that of the pursuing cat and fleeing mice at the centerfold. Here is another piece of well-executed ephemera that this collection is able to save!

1950? Tru-Vue Viewer with nine story cards. Beaverton, OR: Tru-Vue Company. $10 from dalton2099 on Ebay, July, ’21.

I had written 22 years ago that I would be amazed if I ever found a Tru-Vue viewer with which to view the fable card I had found. That comment came, I believe, before Ebay. This year I thought to take a look and immediately found a number of viewers, this one even including nine other samples.
