A rarer type of 3D stereoscope, which unlike the more common varieties that use circular film reels, uses rectangular film reels instead.  The box remains strong and intact with a few small tears in places, with rubbing and creasing at the corners.  There is only minimal fading on the lid, the rest of the coloured photographs that decorate the sides of the box have retained their colouring.  The viewer, made from an ivory coloured plastic, is clean and undamaged.  Fully working it comes with a single European themed film reel, containing 10 scenes. Also within the contents is a folded, paper product catalogue dated 1969.  A really wonderful item ideal for stereoscope enthusiasts, vintage toy collectors or a fun object to use.
