This is a vintage Kaleidoscope from the 80's which was created by Van Cort, which is signed on the eyepiece, in addition to "USA". The kaleidoscope is a single egg shape, which is birch wood with a stunning multi-colored appearance, and it is accented with brass suggestions in addition to a stand. It functions merely by rotating the entire piece as you browse it, therefore it has no moving parts, except for the colorful objects in the interior kaleidoscope chamber. In fine condition, and really collectible. It would make a terrific addition to your collection.
