Canada Agricultural Number 39179; Zeiss Stereoscopic Microscope, s/n/ 276242, purchased Oct/1949 for $155 according to Saturn Asset Module, however the manual on the inside of the box has a hand-written note on it that the microscope was received by the Saskatoon Entomological Lab in 1939. I did a search of the serial number on Zeiss' site, but didn't get anything." Quoted from Mike Ash, donor. (Taken directly from Acquisition Worksheet) - Area Notes
