Vintage pocket microscope with mirror head and pen clip – stated as 50×

€250,00 EUR
Compact vintage pocket microscope with a pen clip, ribbed adjustment ring and an angled metal head. A lens and a rectangular reflective component are visible inside the opening. The heavily worn black finish reveals gold-coloured metal in several places, giving this instrument a distinctly well-used appearance. An interesting collector’s piece for enthusiasts of historical optics and precision mechanical instruments. DESIGN AND OPTICAL DETAILS • Pen-style instrument with a metal pocket clip and ribbed adjustment ring. • Angled head with a visible lens and rectangular reflective component. • According to the seller, an integrated mirror or prism arrangement uses ambient light to illuminate the object without batteries. The exact optical construction and a 45-degree angle have not been independently verified. • According to the seller, the magnification is marked 50X. This marking and the actual magnification have not been independently verified. • Dimensions supplied by the seller: approximately 13 × 2 × 2 cm. • Weight supplied by the seller: 71 grams. BRAND ATTRIBUTION AND DATING The seller reads the marking near the eyepiece as “W. Dörpel / Witten” and identifies the instrument as a Präzisions-Taschenmikroskop 50X. The complete marking is not clearly legible enough in the supplied photographs to independently confirm this brand and model identification. Estimated date according to the seller: circa 1930–1950. The seller describes the body as brass with black wrinkle paint. The material, exact finish and date have not been independently verified; wear alone does not establish a production period. CONDITION AND OPERATION Clearly used condition with extensive wear and flaking of the black finish, scratches and discoloration on the metal parts. Gold-coloured underlying metal is visible in several places. Tested by the seller, who reports clear lenses. Operation and lens quality have not been independently checked. Please examine all five photographs for the visible condition and details. Tracked shipping is charged separately.
