Victorian Holmes Style Wooden Stereoviewer with 1925 Hand Tinted Golf Stereoview Card
This is a late 19th or early 20th century Holmes-style stereoscope, an optical instrument designed for viewing stereographic cards to produce a three-dimensional image. The device is constructed primarily from a dark-stained wood, featuring a central rail and a folding turned wood handle attached to the underside with a hinged metal mount. It is equipped with two fixed-focus prismatic glass lenses set into a wooden frame.
The underside of the wooden base features a circular gold-toned adhesive label with black text reading Property of, Langley Golf Museum, and a handwritten inventory number # 874. Included with the viewer is a single hand-tinted stereoview card. The front of the card bears a printed copyright on the lower left: © 1925, A. C. Co. and a title on the lower right: 73 The Embryo Golfer. The reverse of the card has a handwritten number 35 in the upper right corner..
