A Meopta focus aid for any enlarger, from ebay at £3, a bakelite moulded optical box, with an internal front silvered mirror, that reflects the light from the enlarger lens onto a ground glass screen, to aid setting the focus.
Meopta have made it a touch different in using a curved top glass matt focusing screen, same as a reflex camera to give a very bright image.
Unknown vintage, designed in the 1940's /50's from the art deco styling on the flip up cover. the bottom is ground flat to give accuracy, which checks out fine on testing it. It needs a good clean with Bakelite polish, made for old phone bodies.
