Description
Handheld stereoscope with adjustable lenses and frame. Includes a broken card box with an illustrated printed label of description and instructions (see separate entry).
A stereoscopic photograph of the New York Elevated Railroad was found with it, but is probably of earlier date; it has been removed for its own safety and catalogued separately (13218).
