Clever, niche, sexy, weird, miniature, with the joy of discovery built in. I've been collecting them for years - ever since I learned they existed - and was delighted to discover that some had p*rn inside. When I offered those for sale (instead of keeping them for myself) they disappeared instantly, proving that everyone is as titillated by antique butts, boobs and body parts as I am.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis collection of bone (heh) binocular viewer pendants date from 1880-1920, and the sexy lenses were made during those same technologically adventurous years. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eI’ve individually sourced the parts and assembled them into wearable pieces. Although all the parts are antique, they were not originally paired together. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eInvented in the 19th century, Stanhope lenses were originally used for innocent souvenir views, religious imagery, and portraits. But humans are human. And their potential for discreetly viewing forbidden images was quickly recognized. By the late Victorian era, pornographic Stanhopes offered a way to carry explicit photographs in plain sight, invisible to almost everyone else. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lenses in this collection contain erotic photographs of women. Hanging from 18\" contemporary gold chains, they'll let you time travel to the Victorian - WW1 eras, where people were not nearly as prudish as they would have liked us to believe. We have always been freaks. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAge: 1880-1920\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: bone and brass casing, glass Stanhope lens, gold fill jump ring, 18\" contemporary 14k gold chain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSize: chain is 18\", monocles are approximately 1\" long\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erica Weiner LLC","offers":[{"title":"Nice Vase \u0026 Full Bush @ the Beach","offer_id":53269195456794,"sku":null,"price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"If U Got Time to Lean \u0026 NeoClassical Lez","offer_id":53269195489562,"sku":null,"price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Woman w\/ Mirror \u0026 Greek Key Wallpaper","offer_id":53269195424026,"sku":null,"price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0156\/5502\/files\/IMG_1276.jpg?v=1793645144","url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/edwardian-binoculars-w-nude-stanhopes","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
