Technicolor Slide Box with Loupe Built-in

Have you ever seen such a thing? I got this is a box of misc. I know that Kodachrome and Technicolor are related. The is a box for holding 35mm slides. I thought it was clever to have a Loupe Built-in. Has anyone ever seen one like it?

Has anyone ever seen one like it?

Yes. They were as common as dirt at one time.

They usually had a piece of diffuser material behind the slot for the slide and went by the generic name of 'slide viewers'.

I think the Technicolor brand name was most likely licensed to a Japanese or Chinese company for this slide viewer, and had little to do with the cine film technology company.

Kodachrome and Technicolor linked? I don't think so. Technicolor was initially a process that did in-camera colour-splitting and recorded the two or three colour images on entirely separate rolls of film. Kodachrome, OTOH was an integral tri-pack process from the outset.

Didn't Fuji briefly make a plastic slide box with viewer?

As I recall, Keppler or Schneider mentioned it in Modern Photography. I dimly remember that it was too popular and whoever made it gave up on it. I can't find my file of it, alas.

Oh, it's a slide box.

How many cardboard-mount slides can you fit in it?

Doesn't look to hold more than a dozen.

I'm guessing it was a freebie from a processing company. Wonder how they packed the other 24 slides?

I was able to place 24 cardboard slides in this box. It was sort of a surprise thy fit as nice as can be.
