Optician's sign, Sweden, late 1800's or early 1900's

The business the sign belonged to was Nordlöws Ur & Optik (Nordlöw's Clocks and Optics). Unfortunately, I don't have an exact date for this shop sign, other than that it's from somewhere around the turn of the century 1800-1900. The building itself was originally built in 1789 in the city of Härnösand and used throughout the 1800's and early 1900's. The building is today located in the open-air museum Murberget in Härnösand, Sweden.

excited 2 see the legendary dreamcore balloon photo again :3

Imagine if they sent all the supplies for making glasses and then they had a maze optician, who has written a bunch a letters on a piece of wood attached it to a tree and has gone person to person testing which is the lowest line they can see.

Might need to go see an optician

A collection of home movies came in recently that had some great shop stickers on them. Obviously, these films were processed in Cleveland. The Dodd Company had a lot of irons in the fire: surveying instruments, drawing materials, Kodak supplies, and they were OPTICIANS!  [We’ve actually seen an optician+camera shop label before, on our 28mm home movies.]
