 | The Melton Viewer (circa 1952). A hand-cranked pocket movie viewer. Mostly used for watching ‘skin-flicks’ by horny young men, it would seem. Obviously you'd buy the Howdy Doody film reel, to hide your 'busty' film in, so your mom didn't know what you were really watching. Distributed by Castle Films, this 8mm movie viewer often came packaged with delights like "Wing, Claw, and Fang", "The Chimps' Vacation", "Fishing Thrills!" and "Belles of the South Seas". (An educational anthropological documentary into native tribes... With boobs.) |
