Treasurscope Stereo Viewer
United States, 1950s
Produced by the Treasurscope Company in Glendale, California, this black, plastic viewer is almost identical to the made-for-erotica Modelscope and Tru-to-Life viewers. That’s where the similarity ends, though, as this one was marketed towards a more family-oriented audience with packaged slide albums of family-friendly “Treasureslide” stories.
