I have heard it mentioned before that the stars of Bonanza snuck "the finger" into the viewmaster photos.(shown in the above auction)

Well here it is in 2D



I wonder if they snuck it in on other photos.

I love the viewmasters as almost a behind the scenes look. The photos were typically done between takes. For instance, one frame in Star Treks reel had George Takai and Nichelle Nicholes at the communications station studying the script (the caption has them talking to kirk on the planet surface). The pictures that show the bridge has the winkee blinkee lights turned off since they only turn it on during actual takes.

YES YES YES. That viewmaster rules. I've tried telling people about this for years. Nobody wanted to believe me.....

[HardyGirl]

That's pretty funny! "Screw you, bad guys!"

[mitchedwards]

Thats just too funny. A inside joke that goes over the head of the kids.

Cowboys! I knew you could never trust 'em!

I gave it to the girls that work for me and one of them pointed out that Michael Landon has a chubby. I checked the photo and she's right, he's sportin a woody. I don't think that was planned. Maybe he was closer to Lorne Greene than we thought.

All talk of Little Joe's "Little Joe" aside, here it is again:



But only Pernell Roberts is doing it. Bet he is the mastermind behind the "coded message"

[Marvelmania]

That Little Joe, he's a real Cowpoke

[Meule]

They're all flipping the photographer the bird and no one in charge noticed it? Priceless

[Count Creepyhead]
