DESCRIPTION: Another particularly nicely made & finished wood & metal antique Victorian stereo viewer from my personal collection. Also known as a \"stereoptican\" device. Made of nicely finished wood and metal. It is an interesting device that holds stereo view cards made to provide a 3-dimensional photo viewing effect. It enables sliding the card holder back and forth as needed to enable precise focus according to each individual person\'s preference. Still has both of the clips on the sides of the slide to hold each card in place. It also is fitted with 2 thick tilted magnification lenses to enlarge and focus the detail of the stereo photos and a hood\" to facilitate clear vision as shown. Has a fancy turned folding wooden handle on the bottom to hold the device while viewing (these are often broken or missing).
These devices are very unusual and very Victorian in style.These units were extremely popular during the late 1800s - early 1900s.
Scans show all the details. THIS IS A VERY NICE, WELL MADE, COMPLETE, AND VERY FUNCTIONAL UNIT! THIS ONE IS PARTICULARLY NICE LOOKING, WITH PERFECT WOOD. Furthermore, the wood is a light, blonde color which is very appealing.
It is perfect as an antique decorator, or again, IT CAN STILL BE USED. IN NICE CONDITION OVERALL. The wood is in excellent condition,and it has particularly beautiful finish on the wood. PARTICULARLY NICE LOOKING WITH THE WOOD AND METAL COMBINATION OF COLORS!!!
THIS IS A PARTICULARLY NICE EXAMPLE OF AN ANTIQUE STEREOPTICAN. IF YOU WANT A GREAT LOOKING, FUNCTIONAL, STEREO VIEWER, AND IT IS ONE OF THE NICER ONES YOU WILL FIND ANYWHERE!!
I will include several original stereo cards that can be used with this.
PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS!!!
