Classic Design: The traditional View-Master system consists of a viewer and reels containing seven stereoscopic 3D pairs of small transparent color photographs on film.

Cultural Impact: View-Master has been a staple in American households for over 80 years, allowing generations to experience 3D imagery of tourist destinations, cartoons, movies, and TV shows.

Educational Tool: Beyond entertainment, View-Master has been used in schools and educational settings to provide immersive learning experiences about geography, science, and history.

Collectible Appeal: Vintage View-Master reels and viewers have become highly sought-after collectibles, with rare sets commanding significant value among enthusiasts and nostalgic collectors.

Film Background: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is a 1982 American science fiction film co-produced and directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Melissa Mathison, featuring special effects by Carlo Rambaldi and Dennis Muren.

Star-Studded Cast: The film stars Henry Thomas as Elliott, with supporting performances by Dee Wallace, Robert MacNaughton, Drew Barrymore, and Peter Coyote.

Plot: The story follows a gentle alien who becomes stranded on Earth and is discovered by a young boy named Elliott. As Elliott and his siblings help the extraterrestrial return home, they must keep him hidden from their mother and government agents.

Cultural Impact: E.T. became an immediate blockbuster, surpassing Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film of all time—a record it held for 11 years until Jurassic Park, another Spielberg film, surpassed it.

Critical Acclaim: The film is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made. It was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

Iconic Moments: The image of Elliott and E.T. flying on a bicycle silhouetted against the moon has become one of the most recognizable and iconic images in film history and serves as the logo for Spielberg's production company, Amblin Entertainment.

Required Equipment: These reels require a View-Master viewer to be properly experienced. The standard View-Master viewer (sold separately) is needed to see the 3D images.

Viewing Instructions:

1. Insert a reel into the viewer with the printed side facing outward

2. Point the viewer toward a light source (natural light works best)

3. Look through the viewer's eyepieces to see the 3D image

4. Press down on the side lever to advance to the next image

5. Continue until you've viewed all 7 images on the reel, then replace with the next reel

Care Tips: Keep reels clean and free from fingerprints by handling them by their edges. Store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and maintain the vivid colors of the images.

Rarity: This E.T. 3-reel set is considered extremely rare as it was produced in limited quantities during the original release of the film. Original, unopened View-Master sets from this era are increasingly difficult to find.

Authenticity: These are genuine original View-Master reels, not reproductions, featuring the classic packaging and design elements that collectors recognize and value.
