Victorian Silver-Plate Viewer

This is a device that magnifies pictures or drawings that are held in a frame that slides back and forth
on order to bring it into focus.  The frame needed a "stop" to hold it in position.

After: Entire piece was cleaned and brightened.  We made the stop adjustable with a turn screw
(illustrated in lowest picture).  New pieces were attached and silver plated as well as the worn places
on the frame.
