3D stereo card quest---Tru Vue like View Master

Post Reply New Topic

I am on a quest for an image that I obsessed over as a child. It was on a Tru Vue stereo card---similar to View Master but rectangular. They were popular in the 1950s and 1960s. I am thinking this was from a fairy tale or Disney card---but not sure. Here is what it was like:

It is like this meadow, possibly on top of a hill?, and there is a long line of trees (maybe Lombardy Poplars in a straight line). At the end of this line of trees is a big house/castle/? I cannot find my old Tru Vue cards (they may not even be around anymore in my parents' basement). I have bought several Tru Vue cards but have as yet to find this image. I would be grateful if anyone remembers this image if you had these stereo cards growing up back then.

I don't know these cards, but Walter Sigg from 3Dentertainment (he sells on ebay and from his site) is very well versed in all things stereoscopic, lenticular, vari-vue,viewmaster... Maybe he can help you or can point you in the right direction...

Here's his contact page on his site:

Hope this helps!(tell him "lawnninja"/bek sent you! I buy lots of lenticulars from him and will be hopefully purchasing a lens to shoot my own stereoscope pics soon!) He is a wonderful resource!

Best wishes,
Bek

Thank you LawnNinja---I am going to ask him now. This has really been an obsessive quest for me lately. I just want to see that scene again.
