VIEWMASTER - BRITISH MODEL B VIEWER

Description

The Sawyer's British Model B View-Master viewer was produced in Salford-Lancashire England by Salford Electrical Instruments, Ltd. It is a slightly, but noticeably, larger version of its U.S. counterpart.  The viewer's most notable characteristic is the tear shaped eyecups.
The particular viewer in this listing is in excellent condition. It advances reels smoothly and has no chips or cracks. The box that is included in this offering is in rough shape.  It has the crazy color combination of orange top and green bottom.  This is another characteristic unique to the British Model B's...the boxes they were sold in.  Purple tops with red or yellow bottoms are among other known clashing colors used for these boxes. I imagine there were other such color combinations available during the 1940's production period of the Salford viewer.
