A vintage microscope by R&J Beck manufactured in the 1930's, precision engineered components fitted on a heavy cast metal base, working order. Good condition with some marks.

R & J Beck occupy an especially important place in the history of the British microscope manufacturing with its beginning established in London, by Richard Beck (1827 - 1866) in association with James Smith (1800 – 1873), and later to be joined by his brother Joseph Beck. Richard and Joseph Beck were nephews of Joseph Jackson Lister, who was a respected British optician and physicist who experimented with achromatic lenses and perfected an optical microscope. In commissioning the manufacture of his improved microscope, Lister worked with James Smith, an employee of the instrument-making firm of William Tulley, to create the stand. James Smith went on to establish his own optical instruments workshop in 1837. Through this relationship, Lister arranged for his nephew, Richard Beck to be an apprentice under Smith in 1843. In 1847, James Smith entered into partnership with Richard Beck, and the company was re-named Smith & Beck. In 1854, the company was renamed to Smith, Beck and Beck, as Richard Beck's brother Joseph Beck joined the company in 1851. James Smith retired in 1865 and the company became R & J Beck. In 1895 the company became a limited partnership (R & J Beck Ltd).

Odd transaction with a shipping cost thirty times the amount of my successful starting bid on a lot attracting no interest but my own. Lot accurately described, sturdily packed, and promptly shipped.

Thank you for the feedback, delighted to hear that you are happy, John.

L'oggetto è molto interessante e ben conservato, peccato che a causa della Brexit abbia dovuto pagare 21,00 euro di spese di Dogana in aggiunta. Ma questo non è certo responsabilità del venditore.

Estou muito satisfeito. O vendedor é fiável. A embalagem e o envio merecem boa referência. Recomendar ao vendedor que tome cautela com os endereços. O meu não vinha completo. Mas tudo correu bem.

Foi muito rápido, estou muito feliz que tudo correu bem e obrigado pelo feedback. John.

This seller is 100% awesome. He is honest and decent. The item was delayed due to customs and was eventually returned to the seller who then at his expense sent it to an alternative address in UK.
