AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique brass microscope by Salom & Co.
Circa 1860-1890.
Typical design of scientific instruments from the Victorian and Edwardian periods.

Very important information : the object was rejected by the expert as probably it is a replica and there has never been a producer called Salom & Co in the UK.
There is no doubt about the experience of the expert but in the meantime I found the following information on the internet regarding Salom & Co

Salom & Co. (often Salom & Co. Edinburgh & London) were 19th-century scientific instrument makers known for producing portable, high-quality brass microscopes and telescopes, particularly around the 1860s-1870s. They are well-regarded for their "Reconnoiterer" telescopes and compact, robust microscopes, often featuring mahogany barrels, brass fittings, and detailed engravings.
