    Novelty Viewer Camera
    1960’s Beatles Promo
    Beatles I ~ 8 Beatle Poses
    This 1960’s novelty viewer looks like a small camera. It comes with a neck strap and an 8 pose Beatle viewing film. The poses are typical promo photo style like those shown above
    .
    All different poses than Beatles II.  The images are much sharper and wider field of view and more in focus with more detail when held to the eye. It's difficult to capture the quality with a digital camera. The boxes are made of the flimsy cardboard that they used in that era. Typical minor warehouse patina. Nothing serious. Novelties like these weren't supposed to last a month. We found them still packed in the wholesale boxes well over 50 years old.
    The images are slightly age faded, but the film is completely intact and not brittle. The camera is 2 inches by 1 inch by 1 inch. It has a slot in the back that you slip the film through, and index it one pose at a time, while looking through the front lens. The illustrated display box that it all comes in is typical of 1950’s and early 60’s marketing packaging. The end of the box says
    Beatles I
    . Everything is in
    Perfect Condition
    . Exceptional 1960’s Rock & Roll item. Camera colors vary.
    We pack it securely and send it First Class U.S. Postal.
