Ironically, back when I still thought the VMs was an early 17th century work, critics of my theory pointed out that the microscopes (and opera glasses and telescopes) I was making comparisons to, were all "too new" for my time frame.[..]

It will be easy to produce any examples of artefacts that stand generally upright, have something like three feet or an interesting rim and are round/cylindrical due to production of their raw material and basic elements.
You can easily extent this to late-ancient roman vessels, 19th-century samowars or some of today’s space rockets (without green colouring yet). None of these designs do proove any earlier or much later connections of VMS to some other time period, nor are they leading to some forgery conclusion.
