Does anyone remember the Bar Prism? Secretaries and Accountants used to use them when proofing documents or reading ledgers. In �prehistoric� times gun writers would stand cartridges on them to photograph so they could show the cartridge and its headstamp in the same photograph.
I have checked with every office supply house and stationary store in my small town and not only do they have they no idea what I am talking about their supplier catalogs do not list them. Would anyone know if these are still available?

Slim you are surely giveing away your age.....
I haven`t seen one those since science class when I was in elementry school. You might try calling a medical supply house that serves people with disabilities. Other then that unless you find one in a garage sale or novelty shop I don`t know.

sorry.............

Think you might be able to get what you want from Edmund Scientific. There are several other "science" equipment co. out there, do a Yahoo or Google, and you should be able to mail-order one.

Hope this helps out!
