Sawyer’s View-Master Model D, Focusing Stereo Viewer

Portland, Oregon, United States, 1950s-70s

This high-quality battery-operated bakelite View-Master is the only focusing View-Master and is still a favorite among View-Master fans. It has an interior light that’s activated by pressing the light bar on back and the focus is adjusted by turning the small silver knob on the bottom. The Model D was made in 2 colors, brown and black — the black having a silver light bar and the brown having a gold light bar. This one came into our collection from a warehouse of “new” old stock so has never been used. It was also possible to power the viewer with an electrical cord. This one came with an unused View-Master transformer from the same warehouse.
