Condition report
The microscope has some wear to the brass lacquer commensurate with age and use. Complete with magnifier on stand and 1/4 & 1/2 inch lens, two 1 inch lenses and a 2 inch lens. There is some damage to the beading around the edges of the cabinet - Some of these sections are detached but most appear to be present. The door panels have warped and split. The pilaster column compartments are a little stiff. All of the ebonised drawer handles are present and are OK.
