******************** PLEASE READ *********************** ******************************** ViEW ALL PHOTOS ********** " ON DiSPLAY, ----- THiS WiLL GET EM TALK' N " ************ c. 1890's Tabletop Sliding Stereoscope -- Walnut ? -- Very Good condition -- I bought this stereoscope in 2005. I'm no 'gooselady007' (a stereoview and stereoscope expert) -- but, I think this unit 'had' a graphoscope magnifyingglass attachment. The grahoscope magnifying glass is a large round magnifying glass ( various sizes - usually about 5 to 7 inches round) the Graphoscope large lens can view Postcards et al magnifiable items. Postcard viewing was popular during the late 1800's -and- early 1900's. The Steroscope & Stereoviews were always more popular. The Graphoscope was a tabletop viewer. It was too large to carry around comfortably and only magnified a Postcard, photos and other objects --- The Stereoscopehad a variety of small and large styles. Some Srereoscopes (viewers) were over 4 feet tall, and large enough to hold 50 Stereoview cards. On the other hand, some Stereoscopes folded small enough to fit in a pocket. Graphoscopes only enlarged objects --- only magnified objects . Nice, but dull. Stereoscopes w/ Steroviews gives a person a magical 3D, "reach out & touch sensations"
