Stereoscope Viewer History
Back to the TOP
Stereoscopes,
also known as stereopticons or stereo viewers, were one of America's
most popular forms of entertainment in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
The first patented stereoscope was invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in
1838. Wheatstone had experimented with simple stereoscopic
drawings in 1832, several years before photography was invented.
Later, the two principles were combined to form the stereoscope.
However, Wheatstone's stereoscope was not as popular as a later version,
made by Oliver Wendell Holmes. Called the Holmes Stereo Viewer, it
was the most common type of stereoscope from 1881 until 1939.
A
stereo card is composed of two pictures mounted next to each other, and
a set of lenses to view the pictures through. Each picture is
taken from a slightly different viewpoint that corresponds closely to
the spacing of the eyes. The left picture represents what the left
eye would see, and likewise for the right picture. When observing
the pictures through a special viewer, the pair of two-dimensional
pictures merge together into a single three-dimensional photograph.
We
can see a 3D picture through a stereoscope for the same reason a
building appears three-dimensional. The right and left eyes see a
slightly different version of the same scene, and taken together, we get
an illusion of depth. This phenomenon had been known for quite
some time, ever since the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid discovered
the principles of binocular vision.
Early
stereo photographs were taken with a camera mounted on a tripod with a
sliding bar. Once the first picture was taken and a new photographic
plate was inserted, the camera was moved about 7 cm along the bar
(approximately adult eye spacing). Then, the second picture was
taken.
Stereoscopes continued to be widespread in America until the 1930s.
Then stereoscope production declined, likely due to the new interest in
motion pictures. However, the stereoscope continues to offer
viewers something that no ordinary photograph or movie can offer, namely
a sense of depth and image realism. Descendants of the stereoscope
are the Tru-Vue and View-Master . . . and the View-Master is currently a
popular children's toy.

Tru-Vue Viewer History
Back to the TOP
TRU-VUE
Inc., Rock Island, IL was founded in 1931 and after the 1933 "Century of
Progress Exposition" in Chicago grew and flourished through the 1930's
and 40's.
The
original viewers used 35mm filmstrips, generally containing 14 stereo
views, which were pulled through the viewer using a lever (visible at
the bottom of the left-hand photograph at left). In 1949 Tru-Vue sold
over a million reels of film!. 1950 saw Tru-Vue introduce their first
color films, this was a direct attempt to compete with Sawyers
View-Master. There were over 400 filmstrips made by Tru-Vue and more
were available from third-parties. The quality of the 3D presented is
generally very good, although the films need to be handled carefully.
The color "Stereochrome" film tends to loose it's color with age.
Filmstrips and viewers were made between 1933 and 1952. Ultimately the
Tru-Vue company was acquired by Sawyers View-Master in 1952, who wanted
the rights to Disney licenses held by the company.
A
filmstrip card version of the viewer (image at right) was manufactured
in Beaverton, Oregon after Sawyers took the Tru-Vue company over in
1952. Rather than using filmstrips as before, it used cards consisting
of 7 stereo pairs. Sawyers chose not to use Kodachrome film and so the
pictures have faded to a monochrome magenta finish these days, having
lost most of their yellow and blue coloration. Production of the Tru-Vue
cards continued until the mid 1960's

View-Master Viewer history
Back to the TOP
In
1939, View-Master was first introduced at the New York World's Fair.
Intended as a souvenir, it was originally marketed through photo shops
and stationary stores. Through the years, the product has changed its
appearance to be aimed at a more juvenile audience. However, the high
quality of View-Master is still evidenced today by their continuing
quest to produce a quality product and the company's on-going efforts to
introduce a large number of new reels each year.
William Gruber, an
organ maker who lived in Portland, Oregon, invented the View-Master. One
day, while visiting the Oregon Caves, he met Harold Graves, the
president of Sawyer's, Inc. (a company that specialized in picture post
cards). Magic happened. Mr. Graves was amazed at Mr. Gruber's invention
and, together, they created the successful company that exists today.
During the 1940's and
50's, the company mainly produced reels of various national parks and
scenic attractions across the country. Between 1942 and the end of World
War II View-Master was kept busy producing millions of reels for the
U.S. Government that aided the military in airplane/ship identification
and range estimation.
In 1951 View-Master
acquired their competitor the Tru-Vue Company of Rock Island, III. This
was a gold mine for View-Master because Tru-Vue held the license to use
Disney characters. From that time on View-Master was able to produce
reels for both the adult and children's market.
Several
board games utilizing View-Master reels have been developed over the
years. Many styles and colors of viewers have also been marketed since
the product's inception in 1939. The early round Model A and Model B
viewers are available but becoming a bit more difficult to locate. The
black Bakelite Model C viewer is, has been and always will be near
indestructible and can be found at nearly every flea market and antique
shop. Later viewers are also commonly found by today's collector. All
reels fit in every viewer produced by the company throughout the years.
View-Master
has undergone ownership changes over the years and was acquired most
recently by Fisher Price. Fisher Price now includes View-Master as a
regular part of their annual catalog and makes all of the decisions
regarding new product releases.
From Niagara Falls to
Mickey Mouse, The Apollo Landing to Tom Corbett Space Cadet, many
subjects have become popular View-Master reels.
Identifying View-Master Reels

Early reels were blue with gold labels, then there were
blue ring & buff reels . . . but the bulk of the reels
manufactured from the mid-1940's are white.

Notes |
|
S1 |
1948-54 |
 |
 |
The S1 style, seen in Sawyer's
first multi-reel packets, was characterized by monochrome line
illustrations on the envelope front. |
|
S2 |
1954-55 |
 |
|
S2 packets shared the use of line
drawings with the S1 style, though cover art was simpler and
moved into the background. Typography was the principal design
element. |
|
S3D |
1955-57 |

|
 |
Two- or three-color line
drawings, like those in previous packet styles, filled the
"window" in the earliest S3 packets, which collectors designate
"S3D."
Top right circle defined the Series only. |
|
S3 |
1955-57 |
 |
 |
Full-color photographic images
soon replaced line art on packet covers to produce what is known
today as the standard S3 variant. Top
right circle defined the Series only. |
|
S3oh |
1955-57 |
 |
 |
This S3 packet (S3oh) has a
different back design. Top right circle
defined the Series only. |
|
S3sb |
1955-57 |
 |
 |
This S3 packet (S3sb) has a
different back design. Top right circle
displayed the Series name only. |
|
S4 |
1955-60 |
 |
 |
Top right circle displayed both the Series name and Packet
number. |
|
SU (Universal) |
1958-66 |
 |
 |
The "Sawyer's Universal"
variant was a generic packet design, used as a stop-gap when a
new or revised packet needed to be shipped but new cover artwork
had not yet been created. |
|
S5 |
1960-63 |
 |
 |
With the S5 packet style the cover
photograph broke out of the frame imposed by the previous S3 and
S4 designs to occupy the full face of the envelope; many
collectors consider this to be the high point of View-Master
packet design. |
SP (Special)
SH (Hanging) |
Early 60's |
 |
|
The sleeves pivoted around
the eyelet, so the reels could be swung out for examination by
prospective buyers; to satisfy retailer requests, the eyelet
also enabled hanging displays.
Sold only in selected test
markets, the experiment was soon abandoned. Hard to find. |
| S6 |
1963-66 |
 |
 |
The S6 packets continued the full
face artwork of the S5 style and were characterized by a white
oval containing the View-Master logo, the words "21 Stereo
Pictures," and the Sawyer's blue diamond logo. |
|
S6a |
1963-66 |
 |
With a
decorative art logo |
|
S6b |
1963-66 |
 |
With a new typography logo |
|
S6c |
1963-66 |
 |
The last S variant substituted the GAF
(General Aniline & Film Corporation) logo for the Sawyer's logo. |
|
G1/G2 |
1967-70 |
 |
 |
The G1 and G2 packets retained the
full face artwork of the S5 and S6 styles.
The oval style logo feature of the S6 was
replaced with a Rectangular style.
 |
|
G1 |
1067-69 |
 |
The G1 has the GAF logo with a black background
with the Portland, OR address. |
|
G2 |
1069-70 |
 |
The G2 has the GAF logo with a red background
with the Portland, OR or New York, NY address.
"Stereo Pictures" text added. |
|
G3/G6 |
1970-81 |
 |
 |
The G3 style set the basic design
for View-Master packets until the introduction of blister pack
style packaging in 1982. |
|
G3 |
1970-75 |
 |
The G3 variant |
|
G4 |
1975-77 |
 |
The G4 variant added a Copyright date. |
|
G5 |
1977-78 |
 |
The G5 variant centered the logo
and the text above the logo was removed. |
|
G6 |
1978-81 |
 |
The G6 variant reintroduced the decorative art logo & "3D Pictures" text was added. |
