Novelview Stereo Viewer

New York, United States, 1930s

The Novelview viewers came in two versions. One is a black & silver model that has a slider to advance the film and the other has an Art Deco design and a knob to advance the film.

Novelview - Prototype, 16mm filmstrip

This is definitely not something we ever expected to come across. A Novelview filmstrip in 16mm format (instead of the normal 35mm) and a viewer to match it. It comes from the estate of someone who worked with Novelview and perhaps represents an early design idea.

Novelview - Slide Advance

Wheaties cereal did a special promotion for Novelview on the Jack Armstrong radio show. The promotion included a special film featuring Jack Armstrong in Africa and the slide-advance version of the viewer, calling it a Moviescope. We don't see these sets often; when we do, the viewer is super rusty, the film is ripped, or the box is half missing. This set is missing a film listing sheet and the white strip of paper that was wrapped around the filmstrip.
