Ivolene Musical View-Master

France / Sweden / United States, 1950s

What a novel concept! This rare vintage 3D viewer combines a Sawyer’s Model C View-Master with a music box from the Swiss maker, Ivolene. The one shown below plays Blue Tango when the reel advance lever is pressed and, according to the original box, it’s #7 in the product line. An interesting aspect of the box is that it doesn’t mention View-Master anywhere. The box doesn’t even reveal that a 3D viewer of any kind inside, just a “music box.”
