    can anyone identify this?

    Hi all a member of our local historical society brought this item into our shop and wondered if we could identify it. I don't know what it was specifically used for although it seems to be some type of early magnifier.

    I hope I can figure out how to attach a picture so you can see it.

    Thanks in advance!

    It might be a vintage stereopsis tester or simply as you mentioned a magnifier for photo cards of the day. Interesting piece
