(A.C. Gilbert, c.1938) A Gilbert Microscope Set from A.C. Gilbert. The set features "polaroid junior latest lighting control for clearer observations," and contains a microscope, tools for slide prep and small experiments, and guide, and (6) vials containing chemical and organic substances for young scientists to use. The alcohol and xylene have evaporated over time, but the other vials still contain the liquids, powders, and insects with which they came. Measuring 10.25"x18" and 3.5" deep, the microscope set is in good to very good condition. The contents appear to be unused, however the box shows moderate wear, including areas of moisture staining along the edges and on the base, surface wear, some tearing at the corners of the lid, and other wear consistent with age.
