J.W. Cadwell Octagonal Stereoscope

United States, 1870s

Jonathan W. Cadwell and his son designed several styles of their patented revolving stereoscope but this is our favorite. The opening on the rotating knob was added later so one could manually flip the cards by hand if they didn't rotate into exactly the right position.
