Now that's nice, a Giant Magnifier from Creative Playthings, new in the box.
I got one of these for the kid before she was really able to play with it; after about 2.5-3yo, she fell in love with sticking toys, shoes, feet, hands, anything underneath the fixed focal length magnifying glass. Ours is in good shape, but it's a little beat; certainly nowhere near as nice as this one.
If there's one flaw in this classic CP design, it's that the magnifier looks a bit too much like a stool, and so it invites sitting. And a diapered butt of almost any size will crush the Magnifier like a flying cow on a minivan.

Is the lens glass or plastic?
[thick glass held in by pre-CPSC staples -ed.]
I had one of these when I was a lad - I am 40 now. I kept the lens (which is glass) when I gave up the stool so many years ago. If memory serves however, I sat on the thing with some frequency, and it definitely could support my weight as well as any stool.
i haven't seen one of these in years....i think my nabor had one....nice find!
