Description

An Original Mid 19th Century Large Lacquered Brass Barrel Microscope, with Various Accessories and in its Quality Wooden Case.

With six Objective Lenses of different sizes / magnification strengths, all the Lens Glasses are present and correct.

Sorry the Slide is for demonstration only and is not included in the Lot.

In good cosmetic condition as shown clearly, with only surface patina of age and use to the Lacquer, with no major damage, splits, dents or structural issues.

* The Rack and Pinion Fine Focus Mechanism is damaged, as shown clearly there are Teeth missing from the Pinion Drive, this will need replacing for it to work as it was originally intended. *

The Sliding Barrel Focus operates firmly, it is possible to achieve good focus by Hand on a sliding basis.


Everything else works as it should.

The Lenses are all intact with only extremely minor signs of age and use, there is nothing that adversely affects the end result at all.

* In use the image is in the round, bright and sharp, I have tried to show this in the pictures but in reality the image is much sharper and clearer than my Camera will allow me to show.*

The image shown is when using Lens No 3.

All Threads including the Objective Lenses and their Caps run smoothly and tighten fully with no issues.

The Mirror operates freely, its surface has some signs of age but it does reflect light very well.


The Wooden Case ( possibly Rosewood ) with some minor signs of age and use including a loose Internal Partition as shown, despite the external cracks etc it is structurally sound and serviceable, the Hinges and Catches are strong and work as intended.

A good collectible / usable Antique Microscope.

Height fully closed as shown.

Weighs :- 568.0 gms not incl' its Case or packed for Shipping, ( 1,369.0 gms incl' Case and Accessories ).

Shown comprehensively in the pictures, please examine them in close up before you bid, to satisfy yourself as to condition, suitability, etc. of the item(s) shown.

I always show items in their true light, and will never deliberately hide a negative or detrimental aspect.

Any questions please get in touch, and good luck should you decide to bid.

I will Post in the U.K. by First or Second Class Recorded Mail, and Worldwide by Royal Mail International Signed For and / or Tracked Shipping.

Proven to be fast and secure Postal methods, better for the peace of mind of both Buyer and Seller, they are well worth the extra cost as they are all trackable and / or require a signature on delivery.

More than one Lot to the same Address at the same time will of course be at a discount, please get in touch with your requirements for a quote.
