    Description

    Hello.
    Up for sale is a pair of Wollensak Allscope 3X magnifier glasses. They're a quirky and quite smart set of magnifying glasses from about 75 years ago. I have recently took them completely apart to thoroughly clean them inside and out. At the same time I have also re-greased the helicoids to allow smooth focal adjustments.
    They work very well and look very good.
    Some details about their condition is listed below:
    - glass is clean and clear; some spots are present but cannot be seen in use
    - their body is clean with no cracks, no dents and very clean
    - focal adjustment is smooth
    - the temples are clean and strong. One small spring leaf piece is missing from the left hinge; it's purpose is to keep the temples from opening outward too much. All works very well without it, you just have to adjust the left temple against the ear once.
    The eyeglasses come in their original carrying case; the case is worn but clean and works well.
    Item location is Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
