Fifties looks

[P3D <scooter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I too have a Revere 33 and love it's looks.  I'm even getting to the point where 
I find the Realist Camera beautiful as well. (As for the red button viewer, I've 
always loved it.  I took it apart once for a friend to show him the light bulb 
and  reflectors, and he said it spoiled the magic, seeing how simple it was 
inside).

My latest obsession with looks however is in the Viewmaster line.  I recently 
acquired an almost mint condition Stereomatic 500 projector.  It is, without a 
doubt, a true work of art.  The colors still seem contemporary. The brushed 
aluminum knobs and general attention to looks AND function--I could go on.  And 
that tank of a camera, the Viewmaster Personal, to own one and use one is to 
love it.  I didn't know  how much I loved it until I seriously thought about 
selling it.  When I finally got the projector, I realized finally, that the 
Viewmaster was really NOT a toy, but a serious stereo camera.  (PS-does anyone 
have a Viewmaster projector case in decent condition for sale? Mine is living in 
a cardboard box. :(
