Description
A really very decorative magnifying glass which would look splendid on the grandest of desk-tops.
The highly decorative handle is a good Victorian one, made from solid or sterling silver, with a cartouche each side. The silver ferrule is where the hallmark for Birmingham 1899 can be found.
The magnifier itself is of course newer (by Hilkinson), making it quite usable today with a clear lens and good magnification, a couple of wear scratches to glass surface, mentioned for accuracy only.
A good large size measuring 7 1/4" in length, the glass having a diameter of 3".
