AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Old and articulated tabletop magnifier (also known as a laboratory or library magnifier) with a heavy metal base, produced by the renowned German brand Enuro Optik.
Enuro was a German sub-brand created by the famous optics company Eschenbach Optik, based in Nuremberg, Germany.
Under the label "Enuro Optik", the company marketed entry-level, practical-use optical equipment from the mid-20th century (especially between the 1940s and 1970s), including theatre binoculars, magnifiers, monocles, and studio microscopes.
The textured gray finish on the metal base is called hammered finish (Hammered finish or Hammerschlaglack in German). This industrial finish was extremely popular in the 1950s and 1960s due to its high resistance to scratches and wear.
It is in fairly good condition, the lens is great, and the joints function well.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
