    Description

    A good Martin-type drum microscope with the uncommun signature “Macrae / 34 Aldgate St” forr Henry Macrae. Accordinc to Clifton (Directory of British Scientific instrument makers, 150-1851), Macrae was active to this address from 1839 to 1875. We can date the instrument from the 1840s’.

    The microscope is in perfect working order. It was formely polished.
    The nice box measures 27,5x14x8,5 cm.
