Notes:
I never had one of these but I always loved staying overnight with my friends who did have one. We used to stay up having midnight snacks and watching various ‘show reels’ being projected up onto the wall. You could never really get the picture really big without it going blurry but it was still amazing to have pictures up on the wall at the time. Doubled as a reasonable torch and a pretty good weapon too.

Hi Valerie,
I’m very sorry to hear about your son. It must be hard to get rid of things like his vintage toys. I’ve had a look online and it looks like there have been several Viewmaster Show Beams that have been sold on eBay in the UK for about £10 each recently. If yours was in the box then it might fetch slightly more. I hope that is of some help. I hope that you manage to sell all of the things you want to sell. Kind regards, Michael
