Stereomat cards were made from
compressed paper and were not very robust, They easily showed signs of
wear or damage and required fairly gentle handling. The stereo effect of
these cards worked very well and individual images are
quite large at 20mm x 16mm. The cards themselves measure 104mm x 150mm.
This is a very simple viewer from around 1962
