Auction Alert -- sterescopic

[P3D <Linnstaedt@xxxxxxx>]

Auction, June 20 & 21 at Miles Musical Museum in Eureka Springs, AR.  Mostly
musical items, but also important Stereoscopes.  For info, contact Preston
Evans, 770/483-0000 or 501/253-8961.  My wife says I cannot go:  "we can't
afford it".  Damn!  ;-)

Auction catalog has no description, but a group photo of tabletop viewers.
 Saturday (June 21) "Variety of Stereopticians" [sic].  These will include:

- Telebinocular with stand
- Telebinocular (hand-held)
-  Rotary viewer (large, Alexander Becker type) knobs on both sides.  Top
panel, glass.  Viewing lenses on front.
-  Rotary viewer, Same as above, but wood appears darker in photograph.
-  Rotary viewer w/ angled glass in front, viewing lenses on top in a
hood-shaped wooden port.
-  Graphascope(s): Table model on pedestal.  One large lens for 2D, two
lenses just below, for 3D.  Stage.
-  Brewster viewer (sort of):  Like a hood-less Homes-Bates, perched at
proper angle on top of its box.
-  Holes bates with wooden hood, screw-on handle.  Round lenses are
surrounded with a black cylinder each.
-  Holmes-Bates library scope?  Like a dictionary stand with viewer attached
to the surface--but awfully close.  Not sure if the horizontal bar (which
normally holds the stage) goes _through_ the viewing surface, or if the hood
& lenses are attached directly, without it.

PLEASE, I must apologize for this incomplete, sketchy description.  Until I
locate my "Two Points of View...." book, this is the best I can muster.  Do
not contact me for more info; this is all I have!  :-)

Cheers!
Robert Linnstaedt
