I am dropping prices on antique microscopes because I have more to list and more coming this week. Please take advantage right now and help me free up some space. :)This is a very pretty Bausch & Lomb microscope with full brass ocular tube, original box, original additional eye piece, and original brass eye piece cases. Also included are presumably original tweezers and small tools with blank glass slides. I am guessing at a 1929 manufacturing date based on the serial number.
Upon inspecting slides, the image is clear and free of any visible blemishes when viewed with the 5x eye piece, while the other eye piece does have some scratches or blemishes, but is still an acceptable image overall. The brass eye piece cases have surface staining, tarnish, or varnish peeling, but are otherwise undamaged. Finally, the face of the wood box has a stain that could presumably be removed by sanding, but if you'll be displaying this with the box open, the stain won't be visible from the face of the display.
This microscope is complete with smooth focus, making this a fully functional piece that is truly elegant in its simplicity.
