Description: | The magnifyer is of glycerine, which is slightly yellowed. It is rectangular in shape with rounded corners and a convex front. It was bought at Precision Electronics on The Bridge, Walsall. In the 1940s and very early 1950s TV screens were still quite small. 12" was the leading edge in 1950. In order to make the image a little more impressive, especially when sat across the room, a number of TV magnifying lenses were available
