- Description
- Black metal folding stereoscope. The rectangular frame has two square openings that allow light to pass through the image, which is inserted into tracks on the inside of the frame. Opposite the rectangular frame is a rounded frame containing two round glass lenses that also has a rounded cut-out where the nose can fit. Between the two frames is an adjustable plate, allowing the image to be moved further from or closer to the viewer in order to be brought into focus. The stereoscope folds in on itself and latches with a small gold flat-top peg that fits into a small slot on the lens frame.

- Description
- Wooden handheld stereoscope with black plastic and gold metal lenses mounted on one side that also has a thin diamond-shaped metal plaque with the manufacturer details. The lenses resemble opera glasses and are set slightly away from the box with a silver metal dial in the middle to adjust the length - both lenses have black plastic mounts that rest against the face that can twist off. The top of the stereoscope has a panel on a gold metal hinge that can fold up with a mounted mirror on the inside. The right-hand side has a small slit vertically near the frosted glass window where the image can be inserted - there is a small metal tab mounted beside the slit to hold the image inside the box. The main window of the stereoscope consists of a frosted glass window to allow diffused light into the box - the panel containing the window can fold away from the box on a gold metal hinge so that the interior can be accessed.

- Description
- Wooden hand-held stereoscope with a long base along which the card frame can slide, goggle-shaped lens housing that blocks out light around the sides, two square lenses angled slightly towards the center, a central blocker, and a pointed fold-down handle. The card frame is a separate piece that slides on and off the end of the long base and features two wire holders that fold out to fit the card. Also includes a stack of manufactured stereoscope cards that mostly feature scenes from Palestine and the United States that have spots of colour tinting, possibly hand-applied. Everything is housed in a cardboard shoe box with a white “COES & STODDER” sticker on one short side. Written on one short side of the lid is “STEREOPTICAN” in black ink and taped to the lid is a piece of paper that reads “Return to Catharine Whyte after photograph display” signed and dated by Maryalice Stewart 14 February 1979.
