It could be before 1900 or it could be after 1900, I have no idea.  The main piece is about 5 inches long with 3 cups in it.  There is a glass piece that is rounded on one side and flat on the other that will fit into any of the cups.  On the back of the main piece it is embossed Ullman Mfg. Co. New York.

When I did a search on this company all that came up were paintings and prints, and this thing is neither.  Please help.

It does have a magnifying quality to it, and the glass has a slight amethyst tint to it, but that could be cause from sun exposure.

Chuck,
