This is something you might be interested in: a slide viewer my dad (born 1951) said he grew up with.

Would you have any information on how old it is or who made it?

That is an Aud-i-tone combination AM radio and slide viewer from 1963. Slide and radio together sounds really unique; they had other brand names for the product too...

Aud-i-tone had a whole business of making novelty radios that look and act like other things...
