    I found this little brass/bronze magnifier the other day. The bottom swings out for the magnifier. At the bottom of the figure, is written Columbia. Any ideas as to age??

      Lovely magnifier with the Columbia (a goddess?) statue on top, nice pull out design

      Jenni, thank you. When I looked up Columbia, it said she is the personification of the United States. I didn’t know this previously, but interesting!

      Broochman, thank you. When I first picked it up, my first thought was maybe a coaster set, until I saw the magnifier. Thanks for looking:)
