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.

Despite my best hopes, I believe that this menu has nothing to do with fables but only with a lovely fountain in Quebec City. But since I have it and can never be sure, I will include it here. A steak cost $21 Canadian at that time. I bet that the price has gone up since then.
