  • Vintage Leather Saddle Bags

    3:52 PM PST, 2/23/2008

    A wonderful pair of old leather saddle bags. The bags are in good usable condition. They measure approx 32" in total length and each bag is 10" by 5.25". There is silver colored buckle on the outside and a dark colored buckle on the inside to loosen the bag. They appear to be older and well made. See them on my ebay store ANUATED!

    A wonderful Jewelers Loupe It is triplet 20x21 magnification. It is made of bright polished metal not the cheap plastic types. It is made with a half loop to run a lanyard through it for wearing. You could also make a beautiful necklace and wear it when out shopping for jewelry. I have used one like this for years for jewelry and coins and love it! AND BEST OF ALL FREE SHIPPING IN U.S.A. and CANADA! A GREAT GIFT ALSO! What Is a Magnifier Loupe? Jewelry professionals use a magnifier, also called a loupe (pronounced loop), to inspect gemstones and other jewelry. These magnifiers have special lenses that allow our eyes to focus on an object at a much closer distance than is normally possible, making the object appear to be larger and revealing tiny details we couldn't see with our normal vision. A triplet loupe is a magnifier that contains three lenses placed together in such a way that distortion and color problems are corrected. Magnification Power Loupes are labeled with a number, followed by the symbol "X," which means "times." For example, a 2X loupe makes an object appear two times its actual size and a 5X loupe shows you a times-five increase and 20x means 20 times. A 20X triplet loupe is in my opinion the best choice for viewing jewelry. To use a loupe hold is close to your eye and bring the object closer until it is clear to you. This will be very close to the loupe. After doing it a couple of times it will be like second nature. Member has an eBay Store ANUATED
