Those of you who follow this sight know that I love water magnifiers. Well I was fortunate enough to come across this one and it is a wonderful and a most unusual example. This one is a miniature magnifier and measures only 3 1/4 inches long. Magnifiers are quite difficult to come by and a miniature one compounds the difficulty. The miniature magnifier retains its original Green painted surface. The magnifier has a little handle and I am not sure that it is original to the piece. I believe it was added sometime later. I believe it could easily be removed if desired. I would date this lovely piece to the early part of the 19th century, perhaps 1820-1840 or so. The magnifier measures 3 1/4 x 2 3/4 and the condition is excellent. American miniature magnifier. Price: $2495.00 + shipping
