Brewster Viewer by Henri J. Noè

Henri J. Noè of Paris produced several different Brewster models that folded up into a small box. He obtained patent #31006 dated February 20, 1857. These viewers will be found made of paper, morocco covered with several different colors and designs and in varieties of wood. The viewer folded up by means of either folds for paper models or brass hinges on wood models. These were produced in numbers from 1860 to 1900 and are not rare.

The Noè imprint found on most viewers, the "N" is first.
