Folding Stereoscope - Antique and Vintage Cameras

Folding Stereoscope

The stereoscope is made of leather-covered cardboard, fold lines along the top, bottom and front allow it to fold flat when not in use.

Although marked "By Royal Letters Patent" the patent referred to is not clear, one possibility is Richard Quin's 1857 patent.

The diagram to the right shows the fold lines which are marked in red.
