Re Van Cort instruments

[edsap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Peter Homer)]

There has been some discussion on the list about stereoscopes made by Van
Cort Instruments. I seem to remember their shoe sales stereoscope was
featured in stereo world and I believe it was not the first reproduction
stereoscope that they had made. They made a number of different
reproduction scientific items and there card shows an Orrery (Planetarium)
they also made a zoetrope which was available for a while through the
British science museum and later through a mail order firm who dealt with
remaindered items . We have one of these at work and the adress card as of
1989/90 was Van Cort Instruments Inc 29 Industrial Drive East Northampton,
Massachusets .New England 01060 telephone 413-586-980
