    Description

    The projector is intended as a display object, therefore the illuminated case (on batteries).
    35mm films were actually common as a home movie system. From the 1910s, there were small tin 35mm projectors produced in Europe and North America, the first working off of oil lamps, the later ones with electric light, that could be used at home. With small spools of film and cranked by hand, they could present films a few minutes long. This projector is an example of that period
    which
    lasted until the
    apparition
    of sound. It can also project
    Magic
    Lantern
    glass slides 3cm wide.
