It was made from bakelite and was the first viewer to have a slot into which the reels were placed for viewing. The viewer was very robustly constructed and many survive in almost new condition to this day. For the common black, non-outlined patent variant, this is reflected in their very low price and their easy availability. Brown variants are much more scarce and so they command a considerably higher price, as do early black models with an outlined patent information block. A light attachment was produced for this viewer from 1950 until the end of the Model C's life in 1955. The Model C originally retailed for $2.00. Whilst it was mainly made in black, there are also brown, dark brown, black with brown speckles and two-tone brown versions available. Below are early examples of Model C viewers, manufactured in 1946. These viewers can be identified as early because the patent information was outlined, whereas, later models were not. The Model C viewer was sold concurrently with Model B viewers between 1946 and 1948, at which point sales of the Model B were finally stopped.// Returns will be credited at a pro-rated basis.
