Is this a microscope?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Haven’t been able to find one to look like it. The top part looks like a wheel you turn. But I’m still looking.

And of course, once I get a closer look at it, it really doesn’t look like a microscope. I copied it, posted it on Facebook, so let’s see if anyone there can help out.

Picture isn’t clear enough for me to even guess–some kind of old fashioned gizmo 🙂

https://polldaddy.com/js/rating/rating.jsDoes it have moving parts? Where did you get it? So far, I can only advise that it is ‘an antique’. 🙂

The image is from a piece of paper my son was given. It looks like movable parts, as best as I can tell. He was studying history along with typewriter, phonograph, and telephone. But he didn’t study the microscope so it shouldn’t be that. And I don’t see a spot for a plate or viewing.

looks like a microscope; the two rings on top resembling the lenses to view down.

Wow, that was nice. Now maybe someone can help me figure out why my like button works only in my reader. It’s been driving me crazy and wordpress is no help…..Ron, you can start a help segment::))

is the like option box checked in your post editor at the bottom of the page?

It’s on in my posts, it’s when I go to like some else’s like button that it doesn’t take. I can only do it on my laptop and not on my phone.

I’ve seen that problem in the past and it sometimes is not being able to hit the like button just right because of the small screen. There were times when some of us would end up unfollowing blogs when we went to like a post. But I’ll see if I can snoop around and find anything.

Thats amazing, a lubricator cup for steam engines. Clearly an expert committee took many years to come up with not only the final product but also the name. What is more amazing is Steve actually finding it!!
