Up for auction is a very rare and unique Carl Zeiss “Jena” magnifier. Includes original wood outer box, wooden handled holder, three magnifying lenses and eight viewers or screens. This was something my father had from his days of being involved in the machine shop business near Seattle. I really don’t know much about this item other than it appears to be a real fancy type loop used for examination purposes.
The outer wood tongue and grooved box measures 6 1/2” x 3” and is 2 1/2” tall. The overall condition of the outer box is VERY GOOD. There are a few marks and scratches here and there but no major defects or damage other than 40 or more years in a machine shop inspection tool room.
Inside the box there are three magnifying lenses. Inside of the box is stamped with, “Otte Ramstein Mechaniker(?) Optiker Apolda” on the bottom as well as on the inside removable top. Top also says, “Vertreter(?) Otto Ramstein Apolda” as well. The lenses range in diameter from 7/8” , 5/8” and 3/8”. The main holder measures about 5” long and has a wood handle. It is engraved “Carl Zeiss Jena NR 98”. gThere are a few to a number of small marks or dents around the exterior of the wood handle. At the end of the wood handle it appears there might of been an end cap, but i’m not 100% sure. The main viewing area has removable filters. The quality and precision of this instrument is amazing and super high quality. A well hand crafted item which likeness will never be repeated. The overall condition of this item is VERY GOOD or better. There is one small wood piece in the box that I can’t quite figure out where it goes, otherwise this item appears complete and all together.
