This beautiful stand-up magnifying glass is made by Make One, a crystal manufacturer. It has a simple shape, with a hemisphere of glass cut off on both sides for easy handling. Stand-up magnifiers (desk magnifiers / tabletop magnifiers) are convenient magnifiers that enlarge text simply by placing them over the object you want to read. Unlike handheld types, your hands won't get tired even after long use. They can also be used as paperweights on desks and tables, and make beautiful interior decorations. Make One's magnifiers are authentic, using optical glass for the lens. The company name is subtly engraved on the side of the magnifier. See the third photo. - Type: Magnifying Glass - Material: Optical Glass - Size (mm): Diameter 70 x Width 55 x Height 32 - Brand: LOUPE This was a gift, but I haven't had a chance to use it and have been storing it.
