Post What Do You Think...?

Hi Folks...

Yesterday, while attending a Sportsmans Show at Harrisburg, Pa., I Picked up this great little, I call it Light/Magnifier...Offical Wording on box: "Dual Power Illumininated Desk Magnifier"...Anyway, it works Great for me...The large magnifier is 5X, the smaller one being 10X...It's portable, light, simple and you can use it anywhere...

Next, these 2 IH Pennies belong to a friend of mine, who had them in his collection since he was a kid from waaaaay back when...As you can see, one is an 1862 the other 1864...It fascinated me to think, wow, Abe Lincoln was still alive and might even had these pennies in his pocket at one time....Thought I'd share these things with you...Thanks...

Hi John...

Well...size wise, its fairly small..about 12" in height...Base is 6" wide x 5" long...flat on/off toggle power switch...Of course you can adjust the flexible shaft to whatever position you like...The large magnifier is round of course, but is 3 1/2" across...The small magnifier is 3/4"...It has a plastic flap/cover on top to protect the magnifiers from dust, etc etc..The light itself is a rounded flourscent bulb...Large magnifiers power is 5X...The smaller one is 10X...and thats about it...Its powerful enough for these tired ole eyes anyway...lol....$ 22.00...

Hi Chuck...

The only identifier on the box was the letters "SE", in yellow letters on the middle of a red circle, no name, no website...Made in good ole ROC...But...
I'm attaching a website where you can find it, and it also has the flourescent bulb replacement...Hope this helps you out...

Hi Ya Bill...

I'll tell ya what...I STILL feel like i've been run over by 3 freight trains, and my legs are still rubberized from all the walking, and I haven't the foggiest as to the location of the place where i bought it...It was fun tho...
