    Hi! So I found some kind of magnification device and I’d appreciate a little help in identifying exactly what it is. Any information would be helpful. Thanks so much!!!

    Hi. PP, and welcome!

    I'm afraid you're going to have to give folks more to go on than that tiny picture!
    Shots from different angles, size, markings, etc would all go a long way to getting some help.

    With the proper information, someone here should be able to ID this for you.

    Need more (larger, and clearer) photos. We can't tell anything from a postage-stamp unfortunately. It looks interesting, whatever it is.

    Unfortunately, the system isn't letting me upload pictures larger than a certain size. I can try to post more pictures on my page, just a moment.

    Save the pictures as JPEGs or something that preserves quality but reduces filesize, and then upload them here as FULL IMAGES (as opposed to thumbnails).

    We can't give you any information about the item until we can see as much of it as you can.
