A small collection of items relating to Clarence A. Wimpfheimer - two seal stamps and a threadcount microscope.
A.)The threadcount microscope, also known as a dradenteller, was created by Alfred Suter of 200 Fifth Avenue New York, sometime between 1904 and 1914. The threadcounter has a microscopic eyepiece created by Bausch & Lomb Optical Company. This may have belonged to Clarence's father, Charles A. Wimpfheimer, as there are some initials carved into the back side of this piece.
