a novel slide viewer in 1942 a few years after 35mm Kodachrome became a colour slide standard<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. The October, 1942 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine has a small article on a little plastic 35mm transparency or film strip viewer. I have a wooden transparency viewer of similar vintage that also uses a frosted screen to spread out ambient light so the slide can be viewed.<\/p>\n

In November of 2019, I did a post on a “Komic Kamera<\/a>” that also used a small film strip. \u00a0Such small gadgets seemed very popular for a time giving one an easy way to preview slides and strips before projecting them on screen.<\/p>\n

Thank you to my good friend George Dunbar for sharing his find with us. The article brings back memories of a similar toy gadget<\/a> I had as a child. It was all black and complete with 16mm film strips. I don’t remember if it was a gift or not. Lots of fun looking at the film strips, but put aside and quietly trashed as my childhood attention span moved on.<\/p>\n
