Description
Dull grey metal flood/spotlight used in studio settings for film-making or photography. The main body of the light is shaped like a small barrel - one end has a carved crystal bordered in thick cord and the other has a door that opens by pushing a small button in order to access the light bulb inside. The centre of the door features the Bardwell & McAlister Inc. logo. The barrel also has housing attached to the top and bottom - one contains a lever that, when pushed from side to side, moves the light bulb inside closer to or further from the crystal. Attached to the front on either side of the crystal are brackets where a filter can be fit; a Y-shaped support can be rotated 180 degrees and is adjusted by a handle on one side; an on/off switch sits in a raised metal bracket on one side, and near the switch the power cord feeds out of the barrel - the cord is wrapped in grey fabric and is coiled up and attached to the support with a short length of rope. Attached to the power cord is an orange fabric bag with a wire drawstring that contains a silver metal cylinder that could possibly be an attachment for the support.

Description
A black and silver folding Graflex Crown Graphic camera. The exterior of the camera, on either short side features a silver mount for flashes and shutter release button, which is a rectangle button, (left side) and black leather strap handle (right side). On the back of the camera is a section for the cut film, released by two metal latches, as well as a ground glass back hidden under the folding viewfinder [letting the user know exactly how the image will appear on the film] and releases with a small metal clasp. Towards the top of the back is a metal arm with a black plastic circle at the top that can be slid up as a circular peep finder with various focal ranges on it. On the top of the camera is two other view finders mounted, which are positioned on the right side of the camera, on the left side is a red button. In front of the mount is a raised button (covered in the leather finish) near the the smaller viewfinder, this triggers the camera to open revealing the camera lens. When open the lens is mounted on rails that slides forward and back with soft black leather bellows. It is moved forward by twisting a metal arm with a circle on top in the middle of the lens, this also locks the lens into place on the track. There are two different sets of knobs on either of the lens which allow the lens to lift up and tilt, and with a metal arm at the front of the lens to use for these movements. The metal knobs on the front panel move the inner track that the lens is attached to to move forward and backwards. Along this track is a focal range meter (right side). The front of the camera lens mount reads “Crown [in cursive] GRAPHIC”. The actual lens is missing.
