Vintage Optical Frame Heater Cone Warmer Eyeglass Rim Stretcher Optician Tool
This unique vintage optician's workbench tool is an electric eyeglass frame heater cone featuring standard eye size millimeter markings (36, 38, 40, 42, 44) to heat and precisely stretch early cellulose, zyl, and plastic frames. Voltage and watts are also stamped clearly at the bottom-120/40 equivalent to an old lightbulb. Heavy flanged metal base with pre-drilled workbench mounting holes. Ideal as a rare piece of ophthalmic history, a collector's optical display, or an eye-catching steampunk industrial decor accent.
This tool has no branding, but was most likely make by 1 of 4 companies,- Bausch & Lomb, Shuron, American Optical, or Vigor. I plugged it in and it makes heat.
