Harrington Antiques has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
This is an independent date and photo anotation report compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.
The microscope comes complete with its original box and all original components. A series of wooden slides are included with the original owner's hand-written note as to their contents; the list includes, amongst others, carrot and poppy seeds, a peacock feather, lead ore, a cockroach leg and a butterfly wing.
A superb set in scarcely found condition.
