The Revere Stereo 33 is an American 35mm stereo camera introduced in 1953 by the Revere Camera Company of Chicago, Illinois. It uses the standard 5-perforation Realist format, shooting 24x23mm stereo pairs on ordinary 35mm roll film - yielding approximately 28 pairs per 36-exposure roll. The camera is fitted with twin Wollensak Anastigmat lenses, an established American optical brand, giving it a degree of optical credibility that set it apart from cheaper imports. Fully mechanical and battery-free, the Stereo 33 was positioned as a more affordable alternative to the David White Stereo Realist while maintaining Realist-format compatibility, which meant slides could be mounted and viewed using the growing ecosystem of Realist-standard accessories.

Revere Camera Company entered the stereo market in 1953, a few years after the Stereo Realist had established its dominant position and the postwar 3D photography craze was at its height. Revere was already known for 8mm movie cameras and slide projectors, and the stereo camera was a natural addition to that home-entertainment ecosystem. The Stereo 33 used Wollensak Anastigmat lenses - Wollensak being a Rochester, New York optical manufacturer respected in American photographic and cinema optics - which gave the camera a more credible specification than comparably priced competitors. The camera was priced below the Realist to appeal to the enthusiast who wanted stereo capability without the premium outlay. Revere produced a subsequent model, the Stereo 66, before the company's fortunes declined with the broader collapse of the American 3D fad in the latter half of the 1950s.
The Stereo 33 is significant as evidence of the breadth of the mid-1950s American stereo market: enough demand existed that an established camera company found it worthwhile to engineer and market a competing 5-perforation stereo body. Because it shoots the Realist-standard format, slides produced with the Stereo 33 are viewable on the same viewers and projectors designed for Realist slides, meaning the camera's output has remained usable and collectable wherever the stereo hobby continues. The Wollensak lens specification is a point of distinction from cheaper zone-focus stereo cameras of the same era. For collectors, the Revere 33 represents the mid-tier of the classic American stereo camera hierarchy - below the Realist f/2.8 in prestige and price, above purely entry-level toy stereo cameras.
