Large 17.5 Antique Brass Microscope by W C HUGHES Optician 151 Hoxton St London

Fine quality Victorian 19th century, large lacquered solid brass monocular microscope by W. I dont know much about this lovely microscope. It was part of my grand-fathers antiques and curious collection and has been forgotten in the loft for many years. It looks in very good condition with only light signs of wear (the odd tarnish to the brass and a few dark grey spots to the mirror), all parts seem to be present and every movable part works smoothly as it should. Please see photos for details of condition.
