It is ideal for examining coins, paper money, stamps, jewelry, or other small details.
The top plate of the magnifier prominently displays the Volkswagen logo along with the text "A 'SOUND CHOICE' Volkswagen of America Parts Distribution Center West Culver City." The durable construction includes a metal body with a brushed silver finish on the top plate and polished chrome-like sides, paired with a clear plastic lens. The Zippo brand is clearly marked on the bottom of the sliding mechanism, indicating its origin from Zippo Manufacturing Co. in Bradford, PA.
