\"The Perfecscope\" Stereoscope (Pat. 1902) and 3 Cards by Ingersoll (Pat. 1898):
$34.95

This old stereoviewer measures about 12.5\" long and 5.25\" wide where it meets the viewer\'s face. The wooden portion appears to be walnut and the metal portion aluminum. Its most recent patent date is June 3, 1902. The circular \"medallion,\" shown in the 4th picture provided, is imprinted with \"Exposition Universelle Internationale 1900\" and what appears to be \"H.C. White Co\" (this print is too worn for me to identify with certainty).
The three viewing cards measure about 7\" x 3.5\" and are numbered 81, 82, and 83 in a series about \"The Housemaid\'s Hard Luck\" and are copyrighted 1898 by T. W. Ingersoll. A description of the Housemaid\'s Hard Luck is described on the back of each card as shown in the last picture provided.
Both the stereoviewer and cards are offered for sale in \"as found\", \"as is\" condition as typically defined in an sale setting.
