Vintage View-Master Clock: A Reminder That You Are Getting Old
View-Masters were a part of just about everyone’s childhood. For those trying to relive those days, Minnesota artist Debra Dressler has come up with these handmade clocks made with genuine vintage View-Masters. As you might suspect, “handmade” and “vintage” are usually codewords for “expensive,” and at US$145, that is pretty much the case here. However, if that is a little more money than you want to spend on a clock, you could probably build one using a newer View-Master fairly easily. [Uncommon Goods]

I can’t believe what some people pass off as “art”, and there really is’nt anything about the clock that is “handmade”. Complete quartz clock kits cost $10 and are easily assembled in about five minutes. View-master reels have a hole in the centre, so mounting is easy and the model C viewer thats pictured is the most common of the old viewers costing around $25 at most. A bit of moulded wood off cut and presto! your very own “handmade” $145 “piece of art” for around 35 bucks, unless off course your a complete sucker and pay $110 for one AA battery that runs the clock!!!
