This needs restored and has a lot of the parts. The body overall is decent as of the typical 1870s french types with some engraving on top with black color. The large graphoscope glass is decent and is 8". The rack & pinion move ok when turned with one hand. The body opens up in 2 sections good. The back card holder slides ok forward & backward. When the top of the body is opened up there are 2 brass levers to hold it in place.
On the pieces, it appears there are 2 sides of the front box, a top with the mirror, and then a back that a view would go in and then some hinges. I didn't try to screw anything in nor put it together but really is somewhat close there to putting it together i'd think and if not isn't too far away. The wood eyes pieces have some wear which is common on these 150 yr old graphoscopes which someone has some black tape on the one I did not remove and there is 1 lens missing which on those eye pieces people are getting a cnc wood worker to remake them or even 3d printers. On the bottom of the body, the pedastal holder that can be placed in either of the couple slot for the height adjustment, that piece is in place but not screwed in and would be easy to find some small screws for those holes. The large 8" glass lens is in very good condition as well as the single eye lens thats there just needs a cleaning.
Larger boxed stereo-graphoscopes like this one have been going for $750-$1250 it seems like the last 5 years as most people only run into the smaller ones that have been always easy to find. The bigger ones like this or even bigger have been tougher to find over the years and once you display it opened up they are pretty nice to just leave out on a table or shelf. USA shipping only.
