S3D FS Realist folding viewers

Here is a really neat piece of Realist ephemera, folding 3-Dimension
viewmailers. These are cardboard folding viewers, made by the Halladay
company, which were distributed Realist in the 1950's.

The purchaser would slide a stereo slide into an open slot in the
package, fold a gummed paper tab over to seal it, write a message on the
back postcard style, slap a 3 cent stamp on it, address it and mail it
off to a friend or loved one. The person receiving the viewer would cut
the paper envelope/wrapper off and the focusing viewer would pop open
for their viewing pleasure.

I have 6 of these new/old dealer stock viewers for sale. The viewers are
$25 each plus postage.

Because 40 year old rubber bands usually don't have the elasticity that
they originally did, I will even include a new correct size rubber band
for those who want to open the viewers and display them (The rubber band
is what made the viewer pop open when the recipient opened it.). The
viewer is focused by squeezing the viewer against the rubber band
tension. A very cleaver design, and nicely made.

Anyone who would like to order, please contact me off list.

Thanks, Tom Martin
