19th. century Water Magnifier

Price: sold

A very nice, early 19th. century water magnifier. This magnifier has three panes of glass encased in a wooden frame and the glass is held in with putty, so of which is missing. This magnifier was then filled with water, corked and used to magnify the letters and words in books and manuscripts. The inside of the magnifier is painted white and the exterior quite possibly has the original aniline stain and original shellacked surface. One end has a protrusion with a hole, the cork was placed here, the cork is missing. The magnifier measures13 inches long and 4 1/4 x 4 x 4 inches, each panel. Excellent condition.
