    Description

    I see these from time to time on E-Bay.  This was evidently an advertising piece made by Bausch and Lomb Optical Company in Rochester New York in the 1930's (this one is marked "Bausch & Lomb Rochester N.Y. Dec. Pat. 84359).  The glass lens measures approximately 3.0" in diameter.  It is a very attractive glass with a nude figure of a woman gazing into a pool.  However, the pedestal at the end of the glass opposite the figure is missing - normally this glass would sit horizontal on a flat surface.  Without issues I have seen this glass range in price between 5-0.  Because of the issue mentioned, I will start bidding at .00.  Buyer pays shipping and required insurance (.00 in continental USA - no international shipping due to pandemic).  Payment is expected within three days of the end of the auction.
