About us
Welcome to my eBay shop! Here you will find 'cool' antique cameras, magic lanterns, theodolites, microscopes, telescopes, maritime antiques, and items of military, railway and mining history. Most of these items come from an age when Britain was the world's foremost industrial power - a time of incredible scientific discovery and innovation and often breath-taking craftmanship in design and manufacturing. Most come from the small but highly specialised workshops of the scientific instrument makers of the time - typically handmade and a work of art as a well as science. Some have unique provenance and a story to tell.
