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.
