[QUOTE="KSW, post: 869394, member: 8708"]Another lovely little oddity. I believe a pince nez or monocle holder (what a great idea!). I can find two online from the same maker. One is beautiful enamel and they have dated it to 1890. One is black like this but battered. Do you think there any justification for this or just a WAG at the date?. Recoil works perfectly although I haven’t pulled it all the way out in case I break it. Apologies for the alternative background to the photos, I’m in the hell otherwise known as ‘soft play’ with hundreds of overexcited pungent children racing around and it was the best I could do. :meh: Thankyou :-) [ATTACH=full]198126[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198128[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
