In the 50s when I was a kid my Dad used these to look at his old coins. (while I looked on learning). Has 2 lens's... 1st> 3x.. 2nd> 3.5x... & if U put the both together U have 6x... I know math would tell U it's 6.5, but it's stamped 6x...! Little did I know, I am useing them today... ( their a handy peice of equipment when U get up in age) LoL.....Thanks Dad, Oooo & Thanks for lookin!
I have the same one and I got it from my Dad too! He used it at work as a Machinist and now I use it at work as a Foreman in the powdered metal parts industry.
I have one of these little gems, it is marked A & A 10x My wife used it when she managed a jewelry dept at Sears. I use it to read the stamped mint marks on coins
Keep on passin them down to your kid's PaPicking, They have too many memories to sell...
ttomtucker, Yeah, got to have em for that, to find the Rare ones...My Dad did the same thing.. I love em....
PaPicking, I assume that you are in PA. I don't think I've ever hear anyone say they worked in that business..................I was in it in the lat 70's in Columbus Ohio.
