drcy, agreed about having someone see it in person! And now, I'd like to take a moment to say something about you, if I may. Before I even had this stereoview, I would go to various photography websites to help date other photos that I have. When I got the stereoview, I went to those same sites, and they were all in 100% consensus regarding the oldest stereoviews' colors and corners. So when you and others said that it had to be from the 1870s, I went back to those sites to make sure that I hadn't misread anything. To my great surprise, I found out that one of those sites was yours (which I posted above)! I guess the other times I had visited the site I never noticed the name. But I want you and everyone else to know that I absolutely respect your knowledge of photographic history, and anybody looking to date an old photo should definitely visit the Cycleback website.
