<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mungo, post: 554499, member: 10050&quot;]I&#039;ve got a couple of these, but I don&#039;t know too much about them.&nbsp; Also included is about 250 late 19thC early 20thC stereoviews but i&#039;ll likely make a separate thread for those.&nbsp; Any info appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; This is the first stereopticon, its pretty nice and has a felt rim around the viewing area so that its soft on your face.[ATTACH=full]170301[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]170302[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]170303[/ATTACH]</p><p>This one reads: PAT&#039;D.APR.12&#039;04.&nbsp; or something like that.&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing it was patented 1904, but not necessarily manufactured then. [ATTACH=full]170304[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the 2nd stereoopticon, its in pretty rough shape.&nbsp; the handle came off who knows when, the wire holders are pretty bad, the wooden blinder thing is very loose and pulls out of the 1 remaining screw its attached to easily, and swivels all over the place.&nbsp; The finish on the viewing piece seems like its wood colored vinyl or something and its peeling off the wood and is extremely stiff and brittle.[ATTACH=full]170305[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]170306[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]170307[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
