This advertising page was by the Eastman Kodak Company, of Rochester NY.
The ad has a photo of the Kodak Stereo Camera and one of the Viewer (model 1). There is a larger photo of some people in front of an airplane. It is the Pan American Clipper Mayflower, a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser.
Ad text starts “Pictures so lifelike you feel you’re still there” and goes on about the camera.
This camera is a dual lens camera (actually 3 lenses if you count the viewfinder) that produces 2 slightly offset pictures. These appear to be 3-D when viewed with a proper viewer, similar to the antique stereoscopes. It appears that you look at these with the light shining through, so they would be a transparency (slide?) of some type.
This ad is full page, approx. 7” x 10”, carefully removed from an actual 1955 magazine.

CRA says I have to collect the GST/HST charge. Different provinces have different rates, many still just 5% though. My GST/HST number is 84416 2784 RT0001. I collect this and remit it.
Note to UNITED STATES purchasers (and some other international spots too):
eBay is automatically charging you the sales tax (for some USA states) or VAT (for some countries). I do NOT collect it or remit it, eBay does.
