A brass angle-poise library magnifying glass of good prorportions, c.1910.
The weighted domed base supports two adjustable stems and terminates in a large brass rimmed magnifying lens.
The angle-poise has various knocks and repairs from its years of use. The stem has been historically re-soldered to the base and the leather underside of the base is fraying to the extremities. The magnifier lens ball joint is seized. The adjustable stem and keys work as they should. The lens itself remains in a very good condition.
An attractive library magnifier, ready for display or use.
