| SP Reels were given the SP prefix to signify "SPecial Reel." They were special because they were not available from your local View-Master Dealer store (camera or department store), but were sold on-location at the specific tourist attraction throughout the US and Canada Additionally, they were available through the mail directly from View-Master But SP Reels had an evolution themselves.  When a regular issued reel was changed to an SP Reel, the reel was discontinued from general circulation and subsequently became only an on-location special reel. At first the SP Reel was changed by merely adding a SP- to the number {i.e. reel number 58, Golden Gate International Exposition was changed to SP-58] Later SP Reels either were numbered in the 9000s or in the SP-9000s [so 9000 reels are full-fledged SP Reels] [the 9000 and SP-9000 reel numbers have no relation to a reel's number that it had before becoming a SP reel. Extra facts:
If an SP Reel was numbered in the 9000s or SP-9000s, the reel is likely to be a new issue for that location. If the reel was not a 9000 or SP-9000, i.e. SP-58, the reel is a exact duplicate of the non-SP version. A reel can exist both as a 9000 number and an SP-9000 number. Except for the number, the reels are the same. the SP prefix. For example, [i.e 9006 and SP-9006, Fraser Canyon, B.C. are identical] |
