The Patent & Maker Details
The Manufacturer: The H. C. White Company was one of the largest and most prominent producers of stereoscopes and stereograph cards in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Invention: The specific patent granted on April 23, 1889, was for a specialized design or mechanism used on their multi-functional "stereo-graphoscopes"—viewers uniquely configured with adjustable folding mechanisms to seamlessly look at either side-by-side stereoscopic 3D cards or standard single photographs.
Physical Characteristics: These antique viewers typically feature a highly polished wood hood (often made of cherry or mahogany), rotating dual lenses, ebonized hardware mounts, and some had velvet or felt-trimmed border surrounding the eyepiece to block out ambient light.
