This affordably made small stereo viewer was manufactured by Kenner Products Co. between 1964 and 1969 in either red or blue plastic. The viewer is extremely lightweight in construction but works very well.

The cards were inserted through a slot and were manually pulled down to view each scene. The slides were made of very thin card which allowed the light to pass through them, so that they could be viewed. The stereo effect on these cartoon style slides is quite effective.

There were no light diffusers as they were not necessary as the slides  diffused the light effectively themselves.
