Antique Keystone View Co. hand-held stereoscope featuring a folding wooden handle and a tin eyepiece with engraved designs and a deer emblem to top middle marked "Monarch"; marked to bottom of wooden handle "Manufactured by Keystone View Co. Meadville, PA. PAT'D APR. 12 1904"; includes one stereoscopic photograph depicting "A Russian Gun Dismantled by Implements of War" with a full description to back; stereoscope measures approximately 8" tall from bottom of folding handle to top of eyepiece, 12-1/2" long, and 4-3/4" wide to eyepiece; in Good condition with age appropriate wear. Stereoscopes, also known as stereopticons or stereo viewers, were one of America's most popular forms of entertainment in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Stereoscopes continued to be widespread in America until the 1930s. Then stereoscope production declined, likely due to the new interest in motion pictures. However, the stereoscope continues to offer viewers something that no ordinary photograph or movie can offer, namely a sense of depth and image realism.
