    Description

    Culpepper type Microscope Burke and Jones, Bristol, #55
    18" high, Brass Microscope with three lenses, one ocular, a mirror and a magnifying glass. It says #55 and I was able to track two sales before it ended with me (see links). Very nice piece, has everything, needs a little work. The support legs are kind of loose, but can be tightened. The lenses need cleaning, The box is a bit skewed (because of dried wood), no key. I don't have a certificate, but it looks authentic to me, not like later reproduction. I am disclaiming any guarantee. I don't want to part with it but the circumstances...

    SHIPPING Policy
    (Please, read carefully
    )
    Shipping and Handling charges are the most controversial issues of all e-bay transactions.
    Probably there are as many opinions as there are E-Bay members.
    My policy is the following:
    The Shipping cost provided in the listing is
    APPROXIMATE.
    I do charge
    handling fee which is .00 or 15% of shipping cost
    , whatever is greater.
    I
    DO
    CONSOLIDATE
    shipments.
    Although the immediate payment after receiving MY invoice is appreciated, the grace period for payment is 2 days.  The non-payment case will be opened immediately after grace period.
    All the glass items and all the items won for the price above 0.00 require insurance,
    Because the shipping cost is approximate,
    PLEASE, WAIT for MY INVOICE
    . The final bill will be send when the item is packed and the exact cost of shipment&handling is known. The shipment&handling cost may be lower or higher, than indicated in the original listing.
