A Nice Vintage Cased Brass Linen Tester Loupe. The design combines a circular magnifying lens with an integrated measuring scale, intended for close inspection and basic gauging. The hinged frame folds down neatly, making it practical for carrying in a pocket, workbox, or desk drawer. The original-style fitted case with red velvet lining provides both protection and attractive presentation for display – circa 1905.

 

* A satisfying piece of practical engineering, made to fold away as neatly as it opens.
