Everything fits neatly in the small mahogany case lined with blue velvet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBox\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 9.5cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepth: 8cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 3cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMicroscope Tube\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 7.5cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiameter of eye piece: 2cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK Mainland: FREE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternational Delivery: Please contact us for a shipping quote. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harrington Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58043326431606,"sku":"8002","price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/1425\/1928\/files\/cary-gould-type-pocket-microscope-by-cary-london-c1830-9471262.jpg?v=1781102914"}],"url":"https:\/\/harringtonantiques.co.uk\/collections\/georgian-1\/boxes.oembed","provider":"Harrington Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
