Phonograph Stereoview Cards
Recently I purchased a great repro Stereocard from Curt A., featuring children listening to a Columbia B Eagle. I have the other one from the Sears and Roebuck series with the Oxford Records stock room. Were there any other stereoview cards that pertain to phonographs?

Re: Phonograph Stereoview Cards
I have several more that are phonograph, or at least closely related to phonograph topics. See below.

Re: Phonograph Stereoview Cards
I would love to have reproduced copies of those. I do have the Sears card.
Thanks for sharing,
Jerry

Re: Phonograph Stereoview Cards
There are actually two Sears cards... the one shown of the stenographers and another of the Sears record room. Additionally, there are six or seven others that feature phonographs, performers or related subjects. I plan to make sets of all of the cards I have and make them available to collectors, since the originals are extremely hard to find and expensive...
If interested, let me know by replying or a PM and I will get started on the project...
I also have 100 Nazi cards of the invasion of Poland and various other interesting topics. I have the ability to make original stereoviews of various machines, if anyone is interested, as I have made views of various collections in the past with a digital stereoview camera setup.

Hi Curt,
I would certainly be interested in getting a few more reproductions of the more interesting Stereoview cards.

Re: Phonograph Stereoview Cards
To Curt and others interested in stereo views, I am sharing two stereophotomicrographs that I created of Edison styluses shot at 60x power. One is from a Model B cylinder reproducer and the other is from a Diamond Disc reproducer.
Rather than print stereo cards, I view my stereo photos directly on my iPhone 6S+ using a variety of viewers, including a cheap virtual reality goggles that I bought at a dollar store. Even the antique stereopticon viewers give fair results.

Re: Phonograph Stereoview Cards
Thanks... nice pics. Cross eyed viewing works well also, but I'm partial to antique stereopticons.

Re: Phonograph Stereoview Cards
Curt, those are parallel views, just like the old stereo cards. I can free-view those without any viewer, but not the cross eyed format. You get comfortable with one way or the other, but usually not both. I taught myself using the old stereo cards before knowing there was such a thing as cross eyed stereographs!Curt A wrote:Thanks... nice pics.
