I am a founder member of the Society and I have been selling instruments to museums and collectors worldwide for 40 years from our family-run shop in Portobello Road, which was established by my father 90 years ago this year. I try to research the objects as thoroughly as I can and I also exhibit at the Antique Scientific, Medical & Early Technology Fairs in London which, incidentally, I founded 24 years ago. Please email or telephone me if there is anything you wish to discuss about any item I have for sale.
