DESCRIPTION: Beautiful, excellent condition, nicely finished wooden antique Victorian stereo viewer, from my personal collection. Also known as a \"stereoptican\" device. Marked with KEYSTONE PATENT INFORMATION, and 1904 date..
ONE OF THE NICEST ONES YOU WILL FIND AS Keystone was one of the primary and leading makers.
It is an interesting device that holds stereo view cards, designed 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 metal clips on the sides 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. Verypopular during the late 1800s - early 1900s.
Scans show all the details. THIS IS A VERY NICE, WELL MADE, COMPLETE, AND FUNCTIONAL UNIT!It is perfect as an antique decorator, or again, IT CAN STILL BE USED, IN NICE CONDITION OVERALL. The wood and metal are both complete and in excellent condition.
THIS IS A PARTICULARLY RARE EXAMPLE OF AN ANTIQUE STEREOPTICAN. IF YOU WANT A GREAT LOOKING, FUNCTIONAL, STEREO VIEWER, 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!!!
