My sister is cleaning out the attic and came across these? Looks like copper and she says they are old. Any ideas? Thanks

Frank I have seen similar pieces like this i a display case at Durfee high school they look like parts of an old microscope. I did notice some writing on one of the pieces in the photos, perhaps you can take that name and google it. Good luck I too am interested in what you find out, Jerry
