Description
Signed “Smith & Beck, 6 Coleman St, London 1872.” “1872″ should be the Serial Number as Smith & Beck was at Coleman Street from 1847-1865 and in 1857 name was changed to Smith, Beck & Beck. Hence, this is dated to approximately 1850-1857. The X-Y mechanical stage works in the X direction, but not in the Y direction. No case or accessories except what is pictured. Double sided mirror is in good condition with one side having light pitting and other side more moderate pitting. Height of microscope fully extended is 18” (45.7) cm.

I am not a business, but an individual that inherited a few hundred antique Microscopes from my Dad who had been collecting for over 20 years. I am keeping a small subset of the collection and will sell the rest.
