The yellow mounts were popular in the 1860s- 1870s. This view looks like it is toward the end of that time period.
Happy Birthday!

Cool thanks Scott! And thank you for the birthday wishes! ;)
Seeing all of you stereoview posts got me to dig into mine and post a few as well.
Be sure to take a look-- most are Spanish American War era.

Awesome I'm gonna look now! I love these things, gonna go buy more this weekend.
Thanks for looking/ posting on mine and GOOD LUCK this weekend. Are you buying a large grouping of these? I usually get my best buys on large groupings-- often individual views can be found at reasonable prices on ebay.
