Here is a silly Saturday watercolour sketch. I saw a red one on-line the other day on Instagram so I thought I would draw the one I have. I loved this when I was a kid. My grandmother who lived in St Andrews West Ontario had a brown one. When we would visit I would spend hours looking through the "reels" she had. Secretly though, it was kept in the telephone table under the coat rack by the front door. I spent a lot of time listening in on the telephone "party line"! That was almost as fun as the View-Master. This black Bakelite Model C is the most common because they were virtually indestructible! I can't be the only one who has fond memories of this simple toy!
