This substantial magnifying glass is 6 inches in diameter and has a few minor scratches on the surface of the lens which don't impede its function and a small chip at the top which cannot be felt from either side.  The bronze mount appears once to have been gilded of which some remains.  The wooden handle which may have been re-glued at some point shows a repaired crack of 1.5 inches on both sides.  Some of the paint has been lost from the handle showing the hard wood below.
