Description
THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A MAGNIFYING GLASS WITH A LIGHT BUT IS STILL AN INTERESTING ITEM.THE DOLLAR BILL IN THE PHOTOS IS NOT INCLUDED AND IS SHOWN FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY.
THE LENSES ARE DIRTY AND THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT CHIP ON THE LOWER CORNER OF THE BASE
(PHOTO 1 & 6)
. THERE ARE ADDITIONAL SURFACE CHIPS TO THE PLASTIC IN THE RAISED ROWS AND BOTTOM EDGES

I found another seller who stated this was Bakelite. I can't confirm that this is the case or that it isn't.
The brass lens twists to adjust the focus. My guess would be that this is from the 1930's. I am guessing that the quality of counterfeits was inferior then and a lit magnifier might just do the job. This is a very interesting item for a collector of currency and it looks great on a counter or in a glass case, even with the chips.
