Stereoscopic viewer manufactured by Underwood & Underwood, on or after 1901. The body of the viewer is made primarily of wood. The viewer hood, and its connection to the wooden body, is made of aluminum. The top of the hood is stamped with a decorative design and the words "Sun Sculpture, U&U Trademark." The rim of the hood is trimmed in brown velvet. An aluminum piece on the underside of the viewer is stamped: "Man'f'd by Underwood & Underwood, New York. Patented June 11, 1901. Foreign patents applied for." The design is similar to that of the Perfecscope, by H.C. White, which was exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, 1900. - Subject Terms:
