This is an unmarked Victorian-era table top Graphoscope typeStereoviewerthatmeasures approximately 9\" x 5 1/2 \" X 3\" when closed
The large 3 3/4\" magnifying glass lens works Great - It does what it\'s supposedto do as can be seen in my photos. Larger sized prints were very expensive back in the mid to late1800s and having a accessible magnifier was practical for seeing details that the carte de visites, tintypes or cabinet cards held thatcouldn\'tme seen with the naked eye.
Thestereo viewerworks Great , too. The internal sliding Holder. It slides forward and back as well as up and down depending on what type of photo you want tolook at. The resistance on theverticalmovement is Good so that even a heavy cabinet card will notmove from the position you set it to.
It has some of the inlay that is missing and the bottom prop to hold the middle up is missing But could easliy be made Overall It is not perfect.So please look closelyat my photos to see The Condition. . For practical and display purposes, this doesn\'t matter anyway.
The viewer also comes with 2 antique cabinet cardsOf 2 boys in there suits wearing roller scates and a train Both are from Kansas One from Leavenworth
