Kaleidoscope, "Original Illusion in Purple 1990" By Wildewood Creative Products.
Kaleidoscope, "Original Illusion in Purple 1990" By Wildewood Creative Products.
Does Come with 1 Qty 11 inch long original interchangeable Tubes Colors as Shown.
These were the original invention where we knew the original owners from California. They were eventually knocked off by Overseas manufacturers who made these cheaper. In the mid 1990s Wildewood Creative Products closed their doors due to declining sales. We as a gallery were loyal to this company refusing to carry the Taiwan knockoffs until they closed.
This kaleidoscope was such a hit when it first came out in around 1985. I remember we would order cases and cases of these only to sell out fast thru our House On The Rock store in Dodgeville Wisconsin. Only to have to wait weeks and weeks for more to ship to us.
This kaleidoscope produces firework like images when viewing. Truly a magical kaleidoscope.

Best Kaleidoscope I'ver ever seen
5
I bought it about 22 years ago, and it is still a real treat to see through it. Especially in direkt sunlight, because the metallic pieces reflect the sunrays and produce rings of flashing stars. In addition, the near-perfect cleanliness of the internal mirrors creates a wide field of view without noticeable degradation at the edges. JUST GREAT.Pros:Since the pieces reflected in the kalidoscope are gliding in a fluid, the visual sensation is fantastic!
Cons:After 20 years the colors of the small metal pieces in the tube have faded a bit.

Kaleidoscopes to You proved to be, at least for me, the US's best source and the most knowledgeable. They know their products, the history of the kaleidoscopes, and the people who create them. This place is a treasure.Pros:None
Cons:None
