- Description
- Metal Kodak Precision Enlarger mounted on a wooden board with power outlets and power switch mounted beside the base of the enlarger. The support arm mostly consists of a silver metal pole onto which the dull grey metal enlarger support is mounted - a plastic knob on one side allows the enlarger support to move up and down the support arm. The enlarger itself consists of a shiny metal dome with a fabric-wrapped power cord coming out the top [most likely the house for the light source] mounted on top of the grey metal frame [to which the enlarger support is attached] and into which several different negative trays can be fit, below the frame are dark grey fabric bellows that can be adjusted along a set of metal poles, the bottom of the bellows are attached to a smaller grey metal frame that also houses the focussing lens and a coloured filter that can be rotated in and out of frame.

- Square manilla envelope with one wooden square and one cardboard square with unknown purposes inside. The envelope has “Peter Whyte” written in cursive above “1.60” written in pencil - “9203” is stamped in black in the middle. The wooden square has a hole drilled in the middle and angled edges, making one side a slightly smaller square than the other, and there are two small pieces of white adhesive tape, one of which has random letters and numbers typed on it [possibly a spacer for a tripod]. The cardboard square has a small hole poked in the middle and blocked off on one side with what appears to be tinfoil taped down with several layers of red adhesive tape.

- Description
- (a)Gossen Lunasix exposure and colour meter in a pear shape with leather case. The light meter device measures the amount of light that is appropriate to achieve the proper exposure, indicating for the users which shutter speed and f-number should be selected. Along the top of the exposure meter in the viewer left corner is a white bulb-like part next to an open circular window that measures the amount of light present in the scene. When the converter slide, located along the viewer right side, is moved to the right and clicked into position the round window is open and ready to read the scene. At the top, on the face of the meter, the light measurement (scale) is present. This shows how much light is present in the scene and directly relates to the remaining scales on the meter. Below the light scale is a plexiglass film-speed setting disc with grooves that allow the operator to easily move the dial. In the middle of the dial there is the Lunasix manufacturer symbol. On viewer left side of this emblem is the DIN exposure index of the film in use; on the proper right side of this emblem is the ASA exposure index of the film in use. By moving the dial one adjusts the film-speed setting, which is indicated in the DIN and ASA boxes, whereby the index number is lined up against the triangular white marker in the respective window. A manual would have originally been sold with the object giving a more comprehensive overview of the film-speed table with a technical appendix. On the rear of the object in the viewer right corner one will see the correct position of the 2 batteries indicated through a tiny diagram. Below this is a metal battery chamber. Below this are the words “2 Batt. Mallory” “PX 625 o. PX 13”. To the viewer left of this writing is the ridged slide used for battery testing. Above the ridged slide are the words “Batt. Contr.” with a solid arrow below. Below the battery information is the table of footcandle (LUX) equivalents. In the middle of the table is the zero adjustable screw with an arrow pointing in both directions. AT the very bottom painted on the surface is the location of manufacturing; “GERMANY (WEST)” above a cutout window revealing the patent number; “4D01673”. (b) There is also a black leather case with the object. The inside of the case has gray suede lining, which would have helped avoid scratching and marking of the meter. The case has been carefully designed to retrofit the meter, which is apparent through the tiny leather strap present when the case is opened. These designs allow the object to be formly held into place further safeguarding it. At the bottom of the case there is a black button that allows the case to be opened and fastened shut. When the case is fastened shut, the name of the manufacturer “Gossen” appears imprinted and is upside down. Below this, also upside down, “LUNASIX 3” has been applied in silver ink. Along the viewer right side the case has a cutout that perfectly fit the converter slide. On the rear “MADE IN GERMANY” appears in a receded box with protruding lettering. The bottom of the case, where the button is located, contains an opening for the black string to be strung through. The string, which has been tied to the exposure meter, measures 49.0 cm and has a metal piece holding the ends of the string in place. This would have given the user greater security when working with the exposure meter.

- Hard-sided black carry case with a hinged lid and unlined wooden interior. All corners are capped with metal, mostly rusted - three metal latches are also extensively rusted (the centre one is a lock latch). Running along the length of the lid and the bottom of the case are two parallel wooden runners. Also on the lid is a hard leather handle attached to the lid with metal loops - attached to both handle loops are several remnants of paper tags and a leather travel tag with a clear plastic window. Visible through the window is a stained paper tag that reads “N Morant Special Photographer Public Relations and Advertising Canadian Pacific Banff, Alberta.” Inside the lid is a “NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA Exposed Negative” card depicting a woman in a pale green bikini. Drawn on the inside of the lid in black, yellow, and red is a caricature of a face with a thought bubble that reads “AUNT MARTHA LIKES THIS ONE.” The exterior of the case is covered in faded and torn travel stickers and labels, there is also “D7” spray painted in yellow on the lid under the handle, on both short sides, and on the back. Inside the case are three black “KODAK HARD RUBBER TANK 4x5” containers. In one tank are two cardboard boxes - one is green and contains an Eastman timer and the other is a yellow “EASTMAN THERMOMETER” box with the thermometer inside. The second tank contains two circular metal supports for developing rolls of film negatives, a white metal Kodak film canister (empty), and a blue cardboard box with another metal film processor inside. The third tank contains a cylindrical container that has something inside of it, but it does not open.

Case is a hard-sided black leather box with a lid that hinges open and held open with a brown leather strip on the left-hand side - also has silver metal clasps and carry handle on the front of the case. The case’s interior is lined with grey fabric and the main compartment is divided into two equal sections that house the metal developing tanks. Nailed to the bottoms of each compartment are pieces of wood to prevent the tanks from sliding around. The metal tanks have lids that lift off - one has notches that could have been used to latch the lid down, but no latches remain, and the other has holes in the middle of the lid from where a handle used to be, the handle is missing. Inside the tanks are cradles with lifting handles at either end and removable curved brackets to mount the film in. One tank has what appears to be a vent with a cap on one end, the cap appears to be stuck in place. Folded-up newspaper packed into empty spaces of case beside the tanks, removed.

Each box is mostly yellow with black and red manufacturer and product details throughout - there are two paper adhesive stickers holding the box closed, the one that has the expiration date on it on each box is broken.Verichrome was a kind of panchromatic film that yielded high-quality black and white photographs thanks to the fine-grained emulsion. Film Packs were basic forms of storage meant to be used shortly after purchasing as their [mostly] paper packaging did not keep out oxygen well and had a tendency to fog over time, rendering the film unusable in the long term. It was replaced by the more stable Verichrome Pan in the 1950s.

- Description
- Plain cardboard box of 3 1/4 x 5 1/3[?] Kodak Dry Mounting Tissue held closed with a long strip of paper adhesive wrapped over the lid to the bottom of the box and a paper adhesive label on the lid displaying the manufacturer and direction of use details. Dry Mounting Tissues were a kind of adhesive used to attach a print to a support or mount [like card stock, cardboard, wood, foam core, etc] that is activated by heat and pressure. A smooth piece of paper would be laid over the print, with the tissue between the print and the support, and then a hot iron would be pressed over the whole area, melting the tissue and activating the glue. Once cool, the glue was set.
