This is a
FINE QUALITY
ANTIQUE
MAGIC LANTERN
SLIDE PROJECTOR
with a very impressive
BRASS
TELESCOPIC LENS
In my estimation it dates from around the mid 19th century, circa 1870-1880, but please make up your own mind about this
The magic lantern projector measures approx 17 3/4 inches (450mm) long with the lens retracted, and approx 28 1/2 inches (725mm) with it fully extended.
The height is 10 inches (250mm) to the top of the case.
The lantern is made from lacquered brass and tinplate.
The brass projection set has a 1 1/2 inch (40mm) diameter projection lens, and an internal 4 inch (100mm) diameter condenser lens, (both in good condition with no cracks or chips.).
The projection lens has a hinged cover, and rack and pinion focusing adjustment which works smoothly.
There is an inspection door at one side, which has an inspection window (for checking the lamp flame).
The metalwork is in good condition with no dings or damage.
The rear and side doors open and close as they should.
The lantern is marked on the rear door, lens cover, and burner with the maker\'s name
ARCHER & SONS
73 LORD STREET
LIVERPOOL
(see photos for trade mark)
It is complete with its original 4 wick burner.
This is in good order, and is a work of art in itself! (see photos)
The tinplate case is the original, and has some rust at one end ( see photos)
This is a very fine example of its type, and it would make a great addition to any collection.
Please see the photos for condition & type.
