    I also bought this in my silver lot. I don't know what it is. I am pretty sure something is missing from it.

    Looks like a monocle (one eye glasses) missing its glass :cigar::cigar::cigar:

    Right in the center is also a button that you pull down, something inside goes down to release something when you pull the button.

    Perhaps lorgnette handle is a better term? I don't think of a monocle as having a handle.

    I think this is going in my scrap pile. I did find a sterling mark on it.

    It's a lorgnette. And a monocle is held in the eye-socket and not in the hand.

    There was a hinge on the bridge and the lenses folded together.
