I posted this a month or so ago and before removing the document from my FTP site, I want to give everyone a final chance to access it. I will leave it there till the end of November. You probably know about View-Master, the 3D picture toy with the round reels and viewer to watch them with. They have been around in one form or another since the 1938. What is less well known is that around 1940 the company issued three reels of cemetery scenes which were used for marketing and not sold to the general public. The first two reels have scenes I have identified as taken in Emlawn Cemetery in a small town near Buffalo New York. Now I am trying to find where the scenes on the third reel were taken. Since they include scenes of a chapel exterior and interior and the business office at the time, there is hope. Here is a link to a pdf document on what I know about these reels: http://www.drivehq.com/file/df.aspx/publish/alwooden/Auctions/View_Master_Emlawn_Draft5.pdf If you have any further information on these reels, please let me know. Also, I am a collector of View-Master items, so if you have anything sold by or related to the company that you would like to turn into cash, email me. Al Woodcock Cleveland, Ohio
