This is the rarest of the Club Microscopes to ever come to market. We have consulted and looked into the UK Griffith Club and others in research of this piece. We found that a few did not even know this piece existed with the \"C\" marking. The only other microscope with \" C \" is Dr Biggs\' ( C27 ) which is now found at the Miner Library at the University of Rochester Medical School. This is one piece is earlier than the C27.
