Art Nouveau Marked Magnifying Glass Retrofitted With Victorian Parasol Handle

  

Art Nouveau retrofitted magnifying glass with "budding lily of the valley" motif. The magnifying glass is two separate pieces which have been married together. The first piece is an Art Nouveau parasol handle which is marked "S" and "380", circa 1900s. The second piece is the magnifying glass part which is marked "Japan", circa 1930 - 1960s. Tarnishing and minor dents throughout the handle. The receiving end of the handle is also expanded. The marriage between the two pieces is not the strongest and is not held together by any adhesive material. Therefore, if pulled or wiggled enough the pieces will come apart. All measurements are taken to the nearest half inch.
