Lipton Tea 3D Viewer
Australia, 1960s
The Lipton Tea branded viewer is based on the VistaScreen viewer design. The viewer has round lenses while most of the VistaScreen viewers, except for one, have rectangular lenses. Typical of most promotional 3D viewers, the consumer would purchase the viewer and then collect the free stereoviews which were included with packs of Lipton Tea. The stereoviews were similar in subject matter and quality to the later Weetabix & Weet-bix VistaScreen viewers.
