About Scientific Collectables

Based in Essex England, I have been collecting scientific instruments and vintage fishing tackle for several years.
Collecting brings its own rewards through the enjoyment of actually using items such as fishing tackle, ( I still fish regularly and often use vintage tackle whenever I can) or simply researching background information on various scientific finds.

In my early days of collecting, I soon became aware of the pitfalls that lay in wait for the inexperienced collector. It was an expensive lesson to learn, but with many years of very enjoyable researching and shared advice with fellow collectors, I can confidently guarantee all items offered on this website are 100% authentic. I will offer an honest description of each item, including condition and will not make wild claims that cannot be substantiated.

Since the creation of this site, which originally started as a hobby, public interest in scientific instruments has steadily grown. My experience in collecting has led to the website becoming a valuable source of reference material, as well as a place to find a variety of quality instruments at reasonable prices. Like a lot of internet sites, overheads can be kept low, so I see no reason to charge excessive prices, and unlike some I do not make payment surcharges if you use the options shown on the order page.

I take pride in helping both Institutions and private clients to build their collections and more recently have supplied period instruments to Film & TV studios, along with the specialist advice necessary. Above all, the good reputation of the website is my foremost priority and this is reflected in my dealings with ALL customers.

For customer satisfaction, I have no hesitation in offering an unconditional 14 day money back guarantee if for any reason you are unhappy with any aspect of your purchase.

Thanks for stopping by.

My sister purchased your Dennison compass as a present for me. I just want
to tell you how pleased I am with it. The quality and condition are both
first rate. It fits beautifully in my WW I collection.

Mr T. J ............. (USA)
The compass arrived today in great shape, extremely well packed and, of course, utterly beautiful. I have a real fondness for this compass, sort of love at first site when I saw it. It is a heavier type compass, something I prefer. (Somehow those light jiggly things just don't seem like real compasses to me.) Thanks so much for finding it and for parting with it. It is, by far, the nicest compass I have. Thanks again. Best wishes, Thomas
