View-Master Model E - vintage - black with red pull

View-Master Model E - vintage - black with red pull - 1955 Early in the production of the Model E viewer, a black bakelite model with a red plastic pull was offered, but was later discontinued in favor of the brown bakelite model E with the ivory plastic pull as then only U.S. color offered. The short production period of the black Model E viewer marks it a seriously uncommon specimen among the Model E viewers, and therefore always commanding a higher value.
