THIS AUCTION INCLUDES A LOVELY ANTIQUE STEREOSCOPE MADE BY UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD ONLY IN 1902, 1903 AND 1904. ALSO INCLUDED ARE FIFTEEN ( 15 ) COMPLIMENTARY ANTIQUE LITHOGRAPH STEREOVIEWS OF EARTHQUAKES IN 1906 SAN FRANCISCO AND SOMETIME AT KINGSTON, JAMAICA. THE STEREOSCOPE SHOULD HAVE PATENT DATES ON THE SLIDE SUPPORT FROM 1902, 1903 AND 1904 BUT THE ONLY ONE STILL FAINTLY VISIBLE IS 1902. THE UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD TRADE NAME IS ALSO VISIBLE. THIS STEREOSCOPE HAS RICH WOOD COMPONENTS AND THE ORIGINAL FABRIC ON THE EDGE OF THE HOOD IS STILL PRESENT AFTER MORE THAN 109 YEARS OF FAITHFUL SERVICE. THIS SCOPE PROVIDES EXCELLENT FOCUS AND IMAGE AND DISPLAYS WELL. THE HANDLE FOLDS DOWN FOR EASY STORAGE. THIS NEAT VIEWER HAS CIRCULAR LENS OPENINGS FOR AN ENHANCED VIEWING EXPERIENCE. THIS UNIQUE STEREOSCOPE HAS A BLACK EBONIZED FINISH ON THE VIEWING HOOD WITH ORNATE KNIFE-CUT ENGRAVINGS THROUGH THE EBONY FINISH TO REVEAL THE BRIGHT SILVER METAL HOOD. THERE ARE SOME SMALL CHIPS ON THE EBONY BLACK THAT COULD BE TOUCHED UP WITH A SMALL ARTIST BRUSH BUT WE LEFT IT AS-FOUND TO PRESERVE ORIGINALITY. THE COMPLIMENTARY EARTHQUAKE STEREOVIEWS DATE BACK AS FAR AS 1906. THEY ARE IN VARIED VIEWABLE CONDITION AS SHOWN. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED.
