It is engraved C.F. Foth & Co., Danzig on the main tube. Foth made the Foth Derby camera and binoculars from the 1930s or earlier. I was unable to find any reference to Foth microscopes. It has 3 stacked screw in objectives, all with good clean glass. Each gives different magnification, but I don't know how many combinations you can use. It has a round stage that appears to be made of aluminum with much paint loss do to slight corrosion as old aluminum is prone to. The diaphragm aperture beneath the stage is rusted and is missing the lever so I can't move it. It is missing the mirror and one retaining/pivot screw. The iron base has a U shape plus a small heel at back. The focus works fine, but it is missing an eyepiece which appears to be slightly larger than standard because a normal eyepiece fits loose in the tube. The eyepiece tube is black painted brass. It is also missing the slide clips. The scope stands about 10 inches tall at normal working distance.SORRY NO PICKUPS. Winner pays shipping for 5 lbs.
