ABOUT THE MAKER
: Gundlach-Manhattan Optical Company was founded by Gundlach, who was born in 1834, and emigrated to America in 1872, already an accomplished optician. In 1878, he had severed his connection with Bausch & Lomb, opening his own business in Rochester. Gundlach Optical Company acquired Manhattan Optical Co. in 1902 and began manufacturing microscopes, lenses, and eyepieces under the new name, Gundlach-Manhattan Optical Company.
