Bausch & Lomb The Model Universal Monocular Microscope

Description

Super rare Bausch & Lomb The Model Universal Monocular Microscope. Based on serial number look up, this unit with serial number ‘8919’ (stamped on the inside lower baseboard of the wood case) is dated between 1890-91 (Thanks to Paul to call out my mistake on manufacturing date). All optics and the body are very clean and considered excellent for an 100+ years old microscope. Wood carrying case is in fine condition with the original hardware and key although missing screws in one side to not keep the handle in place as pictured. Two eyepieces and three lenses are all original. I acquired this set from someone who claimed this was received as a gift from the original owner (a doctor resided in Portland, OR).
