Bar Magnifier, small [cl]

Summary

2X magnification. A cylinder of plastic, rest it on the page, slide it down. Total 6 inches, length of magnifier is 3.5 inches. Small enough to carry in a top pocket (it even has a clip) yet large enough to read the width of a newspaper column.

Particularly good for dyslexics - it's not the magnification that helps, it's the 'guide line' that stops the eye from wandering.

Origin / brand: I bought these as a 'job lot' and haven't actually any idea where they originate, probably China...most items you see here in the U.K. are made in China.
