Description

From the seller
This antique B&L Opt Co (Bausch & Lomb Optical Company) brass folding pocket magnifier, is commonly known as a linen thread counter. The device features a hinged brass frame that folds flat and includes a built-in magnifier lens intended for inspecting fabric textiles. It was likely produced in the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when these tools were essential for measuring thread density textiles.
