Rebus Game

View-Master 3-reel set of Rebus Game puzzles. So what’s a Rebus puzzle?

For instance, the letter B followed by a picture of a ring makes the word “bring.” The 21 puzzles on these three reels are considerably harder – and there’s no “cheat sheet,” so you’re on your own to figure them out!

Wonders of the Deep - GAF

This is GAF’s version of the View-Master 3-reel Wonders of the Deep set. The three reels have the exact same numbers and exact same films as the Sawyer’s set described above. The difference is that these three reels carry the GAF name rather than the Sawyer’s name, including after the 1954 copyright date, and these reels say they are Talking View-Master reels. GAF introduced its Talking View-Master in 1971, meaning GAF produced this Wonders of the Deep set between 1971 and 1977, the year it switched to its own brand of film. The included 16-page full-color illustrated booklet is exactly the same as the one described above except that this one has the GAF name on it, as well as a GAF 1954 copyright date. Set comes in an SFTP sleeve. Tell a friend.
