My parents had some stereoscopic baby pictures taken of my younger
sister.  Since she was born in 1967 or thereabouts, this would have been
well after the stereo boom of the 1950's.  The frustrating thing is that
I can remember being there when the pictures were taken, but I cannot
for the life of me remember what the camera looked like!

The pictures came back in cardboard mounts, and the deal included a
white plastic "Lifelike" illuminated hand viewer.  As far as I know, my
mother still has them.
