Both the mount and albumen are in very good condition for an ‘early’ stereoview. I have one that is from 1860 and is faded, insect damage and brittle in spots. Depending on where you live, perhaps you consider getting a local photographer (or better yet a conservationist who deals in photo restoration) to take a look and further help with the dating. Online pictures can only go so far. When I went to a local conservationist with my stereoview, they actually had an original stereoscope and I was able to see the ‘depth’ and 3-D like imagery with it!
