Folding naturalist's magnifier with holder forceps and lens.
The original case of lacquered pressed paper. It's uncommon to find these complete. Very nice condition.

The magnifier is removed from the box and the lens and handle are unfolded. Anything you wish to magnify can be impaled on the
needle. These instruments were also used for medical examinations by doctors (skin, ears, eyes, etc.)

Dates from the early 1800s. Cool piece of naturalist and medical history!
