On Sep-01-10 at 06:17:57 PDT, seller added the following information:I purchased this from a man who’s Dad was an Engineer in WW2. This style transit was blackened as per request of the military to eliminate glare during WW1.
There is nothing I can find incorrect about the instrument. I am a machinist and worked in the Swiss screw machine and Brown & Sharpe rebuilding field for 20 years. I would spot a problem. I have tested it for functionality and found nothing out of focus or order. The lenses are clear, the cross hair grid it intact , the vials are in good working order , the adjustments are all working. I don’t know what else to look for as I am not a surveyor and have not used one of these. As for age I believe they can be identified by serial number on the web but I have not looked. Pre WW1 for sure.

I’ve had this microscope in my ‘collection’ for a number of years, but never ended up using it, so it’s time to sell. I haven’t seen an abundance of information on this model, but enough to feel that it’s uncommon and possibly rare. Very heavy, too! Microscope and hard metal box weigh 10 lb., 10 oz., and the box measures 9″ x 7″ x 4″. When extended, the microscope itself measures about 12″ tall in its normal focusing range. All three lenses and the eye piece are clear and I was able to examine a bit of onion skin quite well. The double sided (concave/flat) mirror is also clear with no cracks or blemishes. There is a swing-out lens apparatus (photo #9) that I believe may focus artificial light. The little levers on the side of that swing-out lens are stiff, and I didn’t try to force them – they may need some oil. The old oil-pen (photo #6) is still in the case, although the oil has become congealed to a hardened lacquer. It may have been an early form of ‘ball-point’ liquid application. There is a micrometer type apparatus  (photo #7) that I speculate is for a controlled ‘panning’ of a specimen, but I’m not sure. There are 3 glass slides, but no additional accessories. There’s a bit of hardened lacquer along two edges of the viewing platform, but it doesn’t interfere with glass slide movement. The case still retains a working key – be patient when opening the case - it can be moderately difficult to open & you have to pull apart the two hinged halves and press the little silver button at the same time to open it. The microscope packs very tightly and you have to be patient doing that also – not forcing anything. According to one web-site this model (Spencer 60 H or F) is WWI or WWII vintage and was used in field hospitals for the US Army. This one is still in excellent working condition!
Guaranteed to be original and authentic as described.
I’ll plan to ship this carefully packed via Priority Mail for a flat rate of $14.50 within the United States. Five dollars starting bid & no reserve. Make sure to read my shipping/payment instructions and my “me” page for additional useful information. Thanks!
 

Since eBay has eliminated charging additional fees for postal insurance, my shipping costs have had to go up moderately, but I hope not too badly. Shipping fees charged by USPS, UPS and FedEx have really increased and I do my best to pack both securely and economically. My response to eBay’s policy change is this: All my items are sent (money back) guaranteed to arrive undamaged – insurance may be purchased at my discretion for no added fee. I electronically track all my items and now ship only within the United States. If your package arrives in a clearly damaged state, please take a photo of it before and after opening and save all the original packing materials. Contact me ASAP if your item itself is damaged and we’ll go from there. I’ve only had one item among over a thousand items ever damaged in shipping. It was the shippers fault and I had to fight through a tedious and absurd long-distance claims process, but after several months I finally came out ahead – receiving my proper settlement. Having said all that, your items are covered whether they have an ‘insured’ stamp on the package or not. No partial refunds – any damaged items must be returned to me to qualify for a full refund. International bidders take note: If you decide to bid despite my U.S. shipping only policy, be prepared to pay for Registered or Insured shipping service via USPS (minimum 15.00 for any item) and also full (ending auction price) value declaration on Customs forms. No whining. That being said, if you’re an International bidder and feel the desire to bid, it really is best to enquire first by e-mail.

1930’s Coolidge R X-Ray Tube with glass shield & mount

An impressively large Coolidge X-Ray tube from the 1930’s with it’s original black glass shield and mountings .. circa 1930’s. It measures approx 19″ long X 6″ diameter at the center. It’s quite unusual to find the entire assembly with the early style black glass shield intact. The shield is marked: “CORNING Made in USA” .. I have not attempted to disassemble the shield to examine the tube but it is likely made by GE. The radiator fins at the end make it a Coolidge “R” tube. The elements are visible through the round window in the shield but reflections defied my attempts to photograph them. The lines in the black glass shield are casting marks .. not cracks in the glass! There is one small crack in one screw on end cap [close up in picture #7] … otherwise the entire assembly is in perfect condition. It will be very carefully packed [double boxed with lots of bubble wrap] to survive shipping and well packed shipping weight will be 16 pounds from zip code 24012.

My Policies:
 
 I have been a collector of Scientific Instruments, Early Radios and Wireless era equipment for the past 40 years … Discovered eBay in 1996, got hooked on the concept and have been a member of eBay since 1997.

ALL INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME! No hidden fees. No charge to fill out customs forms! No extra fee if you pay with PayPal !  I will always work to find the lowest possible shipping costs. I get rather good discounts from FedEx International and sometimes can beat the USPS Priority Mail rates with far superior service.
Please note that Customs duty is the responsibility of the buyer and that I have no control over the amount of duty charged or any delay that Customs clearance may involve. In particular there have been Customs delays in shipments to Italy in the last year or so and buyers from Italy should be aware of that and allow extra time for delivery.

1900~KEUFFEL & ESSER PLUMMET LAMP~MINE SURVEY PLUMB BOB

Buy Now

Current price:

$204

This auction is for a rare antique mine surveying tool, called a Plummet Lamp and I have identified this as being made by Keuffel & Esser, manufactured around the turn of the last century. This mine surveying tool, plumb bob/lamp was used by hanging it on a tripod and lighting the wick that came out of the top, thus being able to be seen from long distances in a dark mine. The plumb bob is suspended in a gimble bracket that allowed the bob to swing freely. There are two O-rings on the sides that held a chain that was suspended from a tripod. The interior compartment held kerosene to fuel the lamp and the wick extended out of the top hole. This vary hard to find mine surveying tool is fully functional and in very good condition with just a some tiny nicks and scratches in the brass finish. It is missing the chain and a little cap for the top. It measures 6 1/4″ long with a 2″ diameter body/fuel comparment. The gimble is 2 5/8″ in diameter and total weight is 26 ozs. 
No reserve, no buy it now, and a very low starting price.
No rules, simply pay and I mail promptly. Satisfaction Guaranteed, feel free to ask any questions or review my feedback. Check out my other 50 auctions for more hard to find vintage and antique collectibles.
