    1952 View Master Camera w\Original leather case, flash, cutter and owner's manual. Everything works great. I've had it for 2 months from original owner in Hawaii who hardly used it.  I think his name was Doc Brown. . .  You have everything you need for making your own 3-D View Master reels.  It will impress.
    The leather is quite old, of course, and one of the strap anchors has come off and was lost before I received it.  The strap itself is also missing in action.  The remaining strap anchor is quite strong.
    The main body of the camera case is quite strong and all the snaps work. The camera works with precision, though I haven't taken it to be serviced.   You can see tucked away in the top of the camera case two amber lenses for noon-time photography, to balance out the colors.
    All in all, it's a time machine in excellent working order: Camera, flash unit---like the Daily Planet---and film cutter. The film cutter looks like it was made yesterday, and is hard to find when in BAD condition.
    The name of the batteries used in the flash unit are today's AA batteries; different from what the owner's manual calls them.
    The flash unit has a range finder, where you line-up the top and bottom of your subject.  This automatically gives you the settings for the camera!
    Take a look and add up the prices of everything bought separately and you will see that 0 is a good price.
    From way back in time, but with excellence so precise the camera sets itself when you tell it what you're shooting.  High-tech, even today.
    You set the inner dial on the top to the speed of your film and what season of the year it is, and when you turn the dial concerning the nature of what you're shooting, everything adjusts for that shot automatically: the aperture and shutter speed.  Make your own 3-D View-Master reels that the camera helps you make!  Check out the photograph of the top of the camera and see what I mean.  What could be cooler than that?
