Stereoscope with Cards~Day 19




This is dated June 11, 1901. Most of the photo cards have copyright dates of 1900-1905. I did take this to the Antiques Roadshow when they came to Reno, NV. I don't remember what they said it was worth but looking around today on the web, the stereoscope could be worth $50-$60 and the sets of cards, I found one set going for $75. I have a total of 51 cards, I haven't counted the sets.

I was having an issue with the lighting. The last couple pictures I was using what ever natural light I could get through the window. No luck today with that!
