AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"Planox Magnetic Stereoscope". France, circa 1890-1900. for viewing slides in three-dimensional form.
This fascinating object is a Planox magnetic stereoscope (also known as a stereoscopic viewer), produced in France at the beginning of the 20th century. The stereoscope is said to be magnetic because the slides, which are on glass, have at the top a metal plate so that they can be attached with a magnet inside the device to be observed. At the rear of the instrument there is a black metal case, and inside it there is a light bulb that turns on to illuminate the glass slides to be viewed, as I showed in the photos. In addition, the instrument is made of mahogany wood with eyepieces and black Bakelite; all of its components are original. It is accompanied by several stereoscopic slides on glass plates, as I showed in the photos. Above the eyepieces there is a small metal plate with the inscription "Stéréoscope Magnétique Planox". For its rarity and operation, this antique stereoscope deserves a place of honor in a good collection of antique photography-related objects.
