Antique Silver Magnifying Glass.
« on: February 24, 2013, 02:03:49 pm »
Hello! I saw this magnifying glass at a antique shop and was very interested. I have been searching online but can't find any info about it. It has what may be a hallmark on the bottom of the handle, but I can't get a clear picture. It kind of looks like a T with balls hanging off of the End of the T. Now, I may be wrong and it may just be damage but I'm just wondering if its worth anything. Sorry I couldn't be much help and any questions will be answered to the best of my ability. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the interest. Here it is next to a full sized pen. I presume this means that it is pocket sized.

I don't own a better camera really. I'm sorry. I'll draw the mark on a piece of paper when I'm back from college today. It's like a simplified version of that bigwull.

This is made is the style of pieces that came from the late 1950's.

My camera is just a cheapie from wal mart !!   But natural light sometimes gives a clearer pic !!  Also when trying to get detail use the macro setting rather than the regular setting !!
