Parlor kaleidoscopes machined from aluminum, brass, and stainless steel. View port has 3x magnification of a 2-mirror system with 5-point image. Dry object chamber can be interchanged and customized with user-preference objects. Turning the hand crank slowly rotates the image while rotating the object chamber at 3x the speed as the internal image in the opposite direction. 2006
