Description from the seller

Old pocket stereoscope by H. Morin Paris, probably dating from the early 20th century, around 1890-1920. Compact optical device with a black metal frame, equipped with a prism/lens system allowing the observation of stereoscopic images and the perception of a depth effect (3D). The knurled upper knob enables adjustment or deployment of the device. The marking “H. MORIN PARIS” is clearly visible on the case. Portable model testifying to the development of stereoscopic photography at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Shows signs of use, small paint chips and a patina consistent with its age. French manufacture, around 1890-1920.

Highly sought after in the world of industrial design, scientific curiosities, old medical technology, laboratory optics, steampunk, and rare measuring instruments.
Ideal for a collector, decoration of an industrial loft, cabinet of curiosities, scientific display case (theodolite, microscope, sextant, compass).
