    Moved into a house on a river and found this in the basement. I have no idea what it is. It says "Stereopticon" on it along with G.I. Newtown NY.
    I looked up "stereopticon" but see nothing that looks like it. I thought it was a fog light. Does anyone know what this is?

      A stereopticon is a slide projector or "magic lantern", which has two lenses, usually one above the other.

      I looked the word up but don't see any that look like this. I see hand held stereopticons but none as big as this. Now sure what it's purpose was or what to do with it.

      So I take it I shouldn't scrap it but rather find someone who appreciates it?
