View-Master Model C Viewer Brown with Original Box - vintage
Excellent Condition with original box
This dark brown color model C viewer was made for only a short time. Most collectors agree that it was made in the early years of the Model C production. Sometimes, it is difficult to see that the color is so dark a brown, but when placed next to a black viewer, in sunlight, or bright light, the difference is easily seen.
The patent information on the front is identical for all brown viewers (the outlined style embossing).
The original box exhibiting some were is included, as well as a Sale List.
The brown Bakelite C was discontinued early in the Model C viewer production era because it was much more brittle than the black bakelite. Many specimens of the brown Model C are often found with chips in the bakelite, usually around the eyecups. This brown Model C is without those flaws.Â
