Glass Handheld Magnifying Monocle with Chain

Glass Handheld Magnifying Monocle with Chain [001377S]

Whether displaying genuine interest or upper-class disdain, peering through a hand-held monocle is the quintessential Victorian affectation.

Our 5X brass rimmed hand monocle comes with matching 32 inch chain and black velvet storage pouch. Very similar to the simple, hand-held monocles of the mid-nineteenth century. Your choice of silver plated or gold plated to match your watch.

Please note that the magnifier measures 1.75 inches (44mm) in diameter and will not fit everyone as an eyepiece. Made in the USA.

For in-eye monocles, consider our silver tone theatrical monocle or our gold tone theatrical monocle.

HAnd held monocle for a Victorian poetry tea. Mar 17, 2012

I bought this item as a friend of mine had made me a lovely pin with ribbons attached to it in the style worn by Victorian ladies around the Civil War times. Attached to this pin are several ribbons and the point of this contraption was for ladies to have at hand their glasses, scissors or timepieces (whatever they might need), readily accessible if they didn't have pockets. I portray a lady from our town's history who in 1868 organised 172 ladies to vote in the presidential elections of that year - 52 years BEFORE women get the vote here in USA!!!!! I will attending a poetry tea next month, and so I was looking for something suitable to attach to my pin. I was delighted to find this monocle & will actual use it when I read my poem....

briliant product, well worth what i paid for it, though the packaging was a little silly, as it was a foot long box, containing a small plastic bag, containing a faux velvet bag, containing the monocule, none the less, well worth it, it was kind of funny actually.

Not truely a monocle but serves the purpose. The chain is very nice but I'll keep that for something else and used a thin black string tie and put snaps on the ends to join them. The nifty velvet bag it comes in is perfect for a money bag of coins, brothel tokens, etc.

The monocle looks great, and magnifies well, but its diameter is a bit too large for it to properly stay perched on the eye. No monopoly guy look for me with this one.

Nice, nice, nice. Monocle looks great and feels quite proper.

The object felt cheap to the touch. The chain broke within a day of normal use getting a feel for the item. The optics of the lens are fine and I use it for detailed inspection of merchandise. More a novelty item than serious eye piece.
Exactly what I was looking for. Jun 29, 2010

Good selection, good advice, good prices, fast shipping. I'm already planning a second steampunk costume and plan to base it on a few pieces I already know are available here. So I'll be buying again in the future. I've also recommended the site to a few
