Description: Stereoscope Viewer Etched Tin & Wood Frame No Card Holder For consideration is this antique stereoscope with an etched tin frame set onto a wood frame. The velvet is fully in place around the edge and both lenses are present. The stereoscope measures 12¾ inches long and the pointed-end handle moves freely. There are minor dents or dings to the tin and a little nick on the end of the wood (see photos), and there is no card holder. Although not marked, the tin etching and handle shape are indicative that the maker was Underwood & Underwood. Buyer will pay shipping on a 2 pound box. Thank you for looking! NOTE: Underwood & Underwood was a stereograph and photography producer and distributor. The company was established in Ottawa, Kansas in 1882, moved to New York in 1887, and ceased operations in the 1940s. Underwood & Underwood was established in 1882 by Elmer and Ben Underwood in Ottawa, Kansas. NOTE: A stereoscope was a hand held device that had two lenses positioned about 2½ inches apart from one another to simulate the space between the human eyes. People could look through two eyepieces at two photos taken at slightly different angles to see a three-dimensional image for the first time. Adults and children were able to travel to interesting places from the comfort of their homes and classrooms. In the early 1800s, stereoscopes were also called stereo viewers. They quickly became the most popular forms of entertainment for middle- and upper-class families during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
