[QUOTE="KSW, post: 9437992, member: 8708"]I’ve learned something today as I had no idea these even existed so I thought I’d share. A Victorian Peep Egg! Another save from the scrap box at a car boot sale. Similar to a Stanhope viewer but larger. The web says c1850/60 but no idea if that’s correct. Made of Alabaster to allow light through to the two curved scenes on a rotating pin to give a 3D effect and decorated with gemstones on the third panel. This one is ‘a present from Weymouth’ My kids have loved looking at this :) [ATTACH=full]437927[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]437928[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]437929[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]437930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]437931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]437932[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
