Summary
Part of a stereoscopic viewer. The whole is constructed of wood and consists of a turned handle on a brass mount which allows it to fold back against the underside of the wooden rail. Screwed to the back of the rail is the eyepiece containing two magnifying lenses and surrounded by a bent ply wood hood. The dividing panel is present but the gallery to hold the stereoscopes is not.
