Yes, there are many other NZ stereo view sets.

I am not a card collector, however I do have a small number of stereo views
including some New Zealand views by George Rose. I am also aware that there
are sets of New Zealand stereo cards by other makers. The most prolific
producer of New Zealand stereo views being George Rose of the Rose
Stereograph Company of Melbourne Australia who sold millions of cards around
the world.

Incidentally the Rose Stereograph Company, which started in 1880 is still in
existence as a family company. However, these days they only produce
postcards and a range of souvenirs such as fridge magnets, spoons and tea
towels.
