The device dates back to 1907. Various inventors had been playing with stereoscopic photos for years before then, and the stereoscope was apparently a fairly popular item for what passed for photo nerds at the turn of the 20th century.

That makes creating the pics fairly cumbersome, which is probably the main reason the stereoscope was eventually succeeded by the Viewmaster.
