Was it a stereopticon? http://www.bitwise.net/~ken-bill/stereo.htm The first school I went to in Bronson, Kansas (all 12 grades in one building, two grades per room), had a couple of them and a set of drawers full of slides for it. I've often wondered what happened to the viewers and the slides since the building is now only a pile of bricks. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 well, it was similar to that, Gary, but an early 20th century version, so not nearly as grand as the one in the picture, with double photos that you put into it. There were travel pictures but the ones I particularly loved were the dinosaur ones because they looked so scary and I always wondered who could have taken the photos - a friendly tyrannosaurus with a box brownie? an intrepid time traveller? I must ask my dad if I can see them the next time I visit. I hope the ones you had at school didn't end up in the rubble.
