[photo-3d] Comparing Realist prices

["Dr. George A. Themelis" <drt-3d@xxxxxxx>]

Sometime back I posted a table showing all the items
in this 1957 flier and the prices they sold for back
in 1957, vs. the price they sell for today.  From that
I calculated the "inflation factor".

Looking at these prices again, the clear winner is the
Book "Stereo Realist Manual"  In 1957 it listed for 
$1.50.  Today it sells for $75.  This is 50x increase
in price and it is not matched by any other Realist
product...  For example:

Realist flash $8.75 to $5?            -> .6x
Realist 3.5 $129 to $129?             ->  1x
Realist 2.8 $159 to $500 (let's say!) ->  3x
Steinheil Wide Angle $119.50 to $600? ->  5x
Red button viewer $19.75 to $120      ->  6x
Box of 100 mounts $1.25 to $20?       -> 16x
Filters & Sunshades, $2.95 to $60?    -> 20X
Stereo Realist Manual $1.50 to $75?   -> 50x
