magnifying rare whistles

Are your eyes as bad as mine ?? Or is it hard to see those small letters at times?? Or even inside the windows at the innards of your whistles ??

Then you probably need help ??

That is where magnification helps.

But what kind ?? There are a lot of types and some are a waste of money aren't they ??

Plastic is usually a far cry away as it scratches 🙁

And magnifying glasses that are on stands are great looking at but not through, the stands can get in the way of the glass or be at tough angles it seems.

I really like those large old metal ones that swing around and are attached to the table with a spring lifted arm. The doughnut shaped light under the hood is strong and right on the whistle —– hands free. Well at least free to hold the whistle 🙂

Then again one always needs a portable, hand held onewith or without a handle and even a couple of different shapes or types are great. The optical higher end capability is really needed for all those small things to see.

Those little ones on a stand seem to be more looks than function.

Lastly my favorite is the headset. Just a simple binocular type optic headset that is rather cheap turns out great !!

However one day I would like to step up to a double or triple magnification … you know, like the surgeons use in those TV shows and movies…..someday
