Title: Antique Silver Magnifying Glass.
Post by: JustWondering 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

How big is this? Is it pockest size or full size?

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.

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 !!
