Microscope
183 (Jones
& Co.; Jones’ Excelsior Microscope; early 20th century)
This simple microscope was
manufactured by Jones & Co., from 5 Devonshire Street, Holborn, London, and
was advertised as “Jones’ Excelsior Microscope” (Figure 1). The instrument
should be dated from the very early 20th century. No information was found
about the company beyond the leaflet accompanying the microscope, where they
referred to themselves as “novelty manufacturers”.
