Golden Gate Int'l Exposition - 1939
View-Master Gold Center Reel
#56 PRODUCTION ERROR reel
- 1939 - vintage
As with any mass produced product, the truly rare specimens are the 'production errors' generating values 10 to 100 times the correctly manufactured product.
Perhaps the earliest Sawyer's View-Master production error created, this offering is for Gold Center reel #56 in excellent condition (one of the most coveted of all gold center reels).
The captions do not match the images. The printing of the captions are out of phase by 1/7th revolution. (top layer of reel is mis-aligned with remainder of reel)
Additionally, besides the production error, the image of the Japanese exhibit is different from other #56 gold center reels.
Condition:
This reel includes original gold sleeve (envelope). Reel is in excellent condition, each image retains its full color and there is NO spidering, NO mold, NO violet spots, NO bubbling on reel.
