Sawyers View-master Personal Stereo

The Sawyer's View-Master Personal Stereo Camera is a 35mm stereo camera designed to produce image pairs sized for mounting into View-Master reels. Introduced in the 1950s, it was positioned as a way for home users to create their own stereo reels compatible with the View-Master viewer system.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the View-Master Personal Stereo have ranged from about £82 to £258, with most results clustering near a median of roughly £125 — these are wholesale saleroom figures before commission, not dealer retail. A verified 2024 sale closed at £100, suggesting that as of today the camera is typically worth around £100 at auction when presented in honest user condition, with cleaner outfits including the cutter and case able to sell for more.
