Description :
A substantial two‑box lot of antique and vintage optical, spectroscopy, and photographic instrument components, featuring makers such as Carl Zeiss Jena, Bausch & Lomb, and American Optical. The collection includes precision optical assemblies, lenses, prisms, eyepieces, mechanical fittings, calibration tools, and boxed accessories housed in original fitted wooden cases. Many pieces retain their period paper wraps, labeled vials, and instructional inserts, reflecting long‑term preservation and careful storage. The lot is contained in two matching wooden instrument cases, each measuring 25" x 14" x 9", and includes a wide range of scientific and photographic components suitable for restoration, parts sourcing, display, or study. The variety suggests use across early microscopy, spectroscopy, and optical photography applications, with several items showing the craftsmanship and engineering characteristic of early‑to‑mid 20th‑century precision instrument manufacture. A compelling offering for collectors of historical scientific equipment, optical technology enthusiasts, and those interested in the evolution of laboratory and photographic instrumentation.
