  We present our ground-based optical imaging, spectral analysis, and high
resolution radio mapping of the gravitational lens candidate FBQ 1633+3134.
This z=1.52, B=17.7 quasar appears double on CCD images with an image
separation of 0.66 arcseconds and a flux ratio of ~3:1 across BVRI filters. A
single 0.27 mJy radio source is detected at 8.46 GHz, coincident to within an
arcsecond of both optical components, but no companion at radio wavelengths is
detected down to a flux level of 0.1 mJy (3 sigma). Spectral observations
reveal a rich metal-line absorption system consisting of a strong Mg II doublet
and associated Fe I and Fe II absorption features, all at an intervening
redshift of z=0.684, suggestive of a lensing galaxy. Point spread function
subtraction however shows no obvious signs of a third object between the two
quasar images, and places a detection limit of I > 23.0 if such an object
exists. Although the possibility that FBQ 1633+3134 is a binary quasar cannot
be ruled out, the evidence is consistent with it being a single quasar lensed
by a faint, metal-rich galaxy.
