New Additions: German Industry in 3D

If you’ve been a follower of our site for a while, you know we’re passionate about our sub-collection of Stereo-foto and Pendoplast stereo viewers! They’re difficult to find and they give rare 3D glimpses into 1930s and 1950s German factories — the machinery, the workers, the factory grounds and buildings. The manufactured products vary widely from cars to clothing to paint to cameras, motorcycles, perfume, typewriters, and more. In the past few months, we’ve added the 6 viewers below to our sub-collection, bringing our sub-collection to a total of 32 viewers with a combined total of over 900 industry stereoviews.
