Microscope 23 was probably made in England in the late 19th century or early 20th century. The maker is unknown. The microscope came with four objectives. One objective from Ernst Leitz Wetzlar (1/12 Oel Immersion), two unsigned objectives (2/3 and 1/6 inch), and an additional Carl Zeiss lens with the following inscriptions: ‘Carl Zeiss Jena D. R. P. 84996’, ‘Planar 145 D. R. P. 92313’, and ‘Serie Ia, Nº 2 – Nº 25286’. The two DRP patents were issued to Carl Zeiss in 1897.
