This is a perfect little loupe which I shall describe to the best of my ability. The folded item measures 5.5 cm in length and 1.1 cm. It has two lenses held in place with silver hinge pins. The case is tortoiseshell. I am not sure what the lens mounts are made out of, it could be a very early plastic, or maybe tortoiseshell, I can't tell. The lenses function well but have a little dust on the inside between the glass. I don't really know the date of origin. If it is 20th century then it is early 20th century. The style looks older. It is a high quality piece. I shall answer any questions as quickly as possible.
