Hello, my Granddad was a biologist and recently passed away. He left me what appears to be an old German microscope in a nice keyed wooden box. The box also contains 4 or 5 drawers for lack of a better word full of various accessories. As far as I can tell, the microscope appears to be in good condition and it also works. There is a paper card in the wooden box that says Mikroscop Nr. And on the base of the microscope is the inscription E. Levitz Wetzlar No.62806. Will post the pics I took. Hoping someone would be kind enough to share some knowledge with me about this microscope and also maybe give me a general idea of the value. Thank you in advance to anyone that replies...I appreciate your time and any insight you provide.

Welcome to T-Net !!
That's a nice piece your Grandpa left you. Looks like a quality antique instrument.
There are a few listed on EBAY with the original box & 3 extra lenses.
I think your serial # might be a key to it's scarcity and value, but the ones I've seen are about $4OO & higher. (ps. Take the V out of Levitz)
His name is Leitz.
Here's a couple of links:
Here's a link to serial numbers & years made. It looks like your's was made in either 1901 or 1902.
