I was cleaning out some drawers in Reid's closet and I found several old viewmaster slides (or are the cartridges?). Even though we not longer have the actually viewmaster thing-a-ma-jiggy, I can't bring myself to get rid of them.
For something so low tech and old school, they still hold a special place in my heart.

Oh those were the best!
Hey, I had a viewmaster when I was a child and that was 60 years ago! Even my six-year-old grandson got one for Christmas or birthday a couple years back and I was stunned that they still make them. They're a little low-tech for today's kids, but I must agree that they were a special toy. I could flip those disks for hours in traveling all over the world!
What great memories your picture brought up! I had Alice in Wonderland slides (or cartridges). I don't think I could get rid of them either :)
I remember these! I think you should save them too - I hear they aren't making them anymore so they may be worth something in the future.
That brings back some fun memories...I had one of those when I was a kid (eons ago, lol)...it was Gullivers Travels and I'd lay back looking through that all day long. :)
aww iUsed to have some of those...hmm now iWonder if my grama has them somewhere...☺
My kids actually still have those! We actually have a projector thingy that lights them up and projects the images on their walls. They think it's cool :)
Haha I had one of those when I was little! Nice picture!
Love this shot! It reminds me of my childhood.
Your pictures are just amazing. Really. Great job.
Love this. Definite memories there. I loved my viewmaster!
I totally remember these!!.. definitely didn't have the Lion King when I had mine though.
Very cool perspective on this!
I've never heard abaout a viewmaster before but it seems to be a wonderful memory!!
Your photo has a great perspective!
Have a nice weekend!
I love it! I remember having those as a kid. I wouldn't be able to get rid of it either!
Great photo!
And I'd have a hard time throwing these out, too! Oh, the memories...
Omigosh, what a blast from the past! I remember our ole viewfinder... I think us 3 kids used to fight over it all the time. Great pic of the slide here.
I had one of them when I was a kid, and I know my kids had one too. It was a clever idea but our kids today are used to so many more cool things.
You COULD take a photo of each of them and then toss 'em.... just an idea.
I have several viewmaster slides packed away from when I was a kid. I may even still have the viewmaster. Great shot, and memories!
Ah that great... I have that too!
I saw the other two View Master shots, but somehow I missed this one -- this is my favorite one! I love how you caught the color of each slide -- very cool!
