This reminds me of the Sawyer's bi(something) slide viewer.
This was a viewer for viewing single 2x2 slides with a viewer.
The neat thing about this viewer is that you viewed the image
with both eyes instead of peering in with one eye. Supposedly
it was supposed to look 3-D. Funny thing is, it looked more
FLAT when viewed with two eyes! I speculate, years of
3-D conditioning has an opposite effect on stereophiles! ;-)
