Default Re: Sources of information on vintage microscopes?

Here's mine, let's face it, we all need something to keep track of those pesky tin-whiskers! and what could be better than a Victorian or Edwardian brass instrument.

My dad acquired this when he was a boy and it must have been 20 or 30 years old then. It would have had a wooden case, but i don't remember ever seeing one. There was a lens on a brass stand which I still might have somewhere, and there was a brass microscope slide with a glass "porthole" which Dad called the "life-box" which was lost many decades ago.
