You lost me there Randy/Sherry .

You posted a picture labeled Victor portable stereopticon. Someone else
jumped on that saying it wasn't. You then posted a picture clearly
showing it was - hence person with foot-in-mouth chewing said foot
covered in shoe leather.

Even now - with picture posted for all to see - said person is still
insisting what it clearly marked - isn't. chew, chew, chew.

best regards...

William thanks for doing that . As i and a friend look at this thing we
cant see any way it could combine the 2 pictures so it must be ``magic``
...but i dont have any slides or whatever goes in it to try it .

There are some huge lenses in it and more lenses in the nose . It has 6
adjustements to move or focus the back , front & bulb so maybe it blots
out the wood divider on the slide holder somehow .

Randy .... LOL just grab another coffee :-)

Doing a search on 'stereopticon' Yahoo returns 41,500 responses, Google
about 76,800. As indicated in an earlier post, it's a magic lantern.

I still don't see how it can be used, by itself, to project stereo images.

Let us know what you discover.

Hi Ken,

I was just unboxing some things that belonged to my late father, and I came across this exact piece of equipment. I can send you photos if you like.
It appears to be in perfect condition, with all the parts there, and two boxes of slides to use with it. The dates 1913 and 1914 are on it, along with Model #2, and a serial number, made by Victor Animatograph Co., Davenport, Iowa.
I'm not going to plug it in, because the cord looks like it could have shorts in it. Let me know if you'd like to see pictures. I am looking for someone who can give me an estimated value.

I have one I'll be auctioning on Ebay soon, let me know if you're interested.
