Details

These simple stereo viewers - made of cardboard and covered with paper imitation leather - were sold in many French tourist places shortly after WWII complete with a box of black and white slides containing 12 stereo photos of the immediate area, for a price of about 300 francs. The Bruguière company has been making stereo viewers since 1934 - also very durable and luxurious models, made of both metal and Bakelite. The Stereoscope can be seen as the forerunner of the later much more famous 'View Master' stereo viewers.
