Holmes Stereoscope of French/German Toy Brand

Georges Carette was a French toy man­u­fac­tur­er. Through his mar­riage to a Ger­man woman, he set­tled in Ger­many. He ini­tial­ly worked as a sales agent for Bing, but found­ed his own com­pa­ny in Nürn­berg in 1886. Carette is main­ly known for man­u­fac­tur­ing tin toys, but also pro­duced mag­ic lanterns and stereoscopes.
After the out­break of the First World War, Carette returned to Paris. His com­pa­ny in Nurem­berg was con­fis­cat­ed by the Allies after the war.
