- Brown plastic hand-held Sawyer’s View-Master consisting of a rectangular body with raised translucent plastic windows to allow light in on the front and small round plastic lenses set away from the body on the back.

The top is open to admit the thin cardboard reel - the reel that accompanies this View-Master features a “Christmas Tour” of the Sawyer’s factory ca.1950. Sawyer’s reels featured small coloured pairs of photographs on celluloid film fixed into a thin round piece of cardboard that usually had details printed in the middle.
