Description
Custom red brown camera case containing a camera, recorder, and various equipment and accessories.a) Red brown suitcase that has been customized to carry cameras and their equipment. The outside has reinforced leather corners and silver hardware. The outside has the initials “J. R. G.” on the top and bottom sides, as well as under the handle. Inside, the case has a brown plaid lining. The bottom of the case has been fitted with a custom made wood, cream coloured apparatus that is designed to hold (c). It comes apart into two pieces - the base, which is not removable, and the lid, which slides out to the right once it has been unhooked from the latch built into the base n the left hand side. The lid of the suitcase reads “J. R. GRICE / 9920 - 75 ST / EDMONTON / ALBERTA”. The foam on the apparatus has worn off, leaving black dust like particles in the suitcase. There are a set of two keys hanging from a brown strap connecting the lid to the base in the center of the suitcase.b) Silver and black camera in a brown leather case. The camera is secured in the case with a wide, flat screw at the base. The camera also comes with its original document outlining the features and instructions of the camera. The camera itself is a Olympus Chrome Six. According to the document, the camera was used to produce “ (12) 6x6cm photos or (16) 4.5x6cm photos on a roll of 120 film”. The camera is black leather with a silver body. There are two silver knobs on the base. The top has four knobs, a viewfinder, and a mount for flash. The smallest knob next to the viewfinder is used to release the lens, which opens from a square panel in the front. The lens is a coated Olympus Zuiko lens. The brown case is Olympus brand and is custom fitted to the camera model. It opens from the top and has two snaps that secure it to the base of the case. A small flap can be opened to allow the camera to be used while remaining in the case. The strap that connects the top of the case to the bottom reads “J. R. GRICE / 9920 - 75 ST / EDMONTON / ALBERTA”. There is a short, thin strap that attaches to either side of the case by metal hardware - one side is broken, the leather has split.

The brand on the case, recorder and strap is labeled as Sankyo. The recorder is a muted green colour, with black and silver components.

A Candle Lamp for use in a dark room. The foundation of the Candle Lamp consists of a square metal base (a) (8.5 X 8.5 X0.9 cm), which contains a raised circular ring that serves to hold the candle (b) (4.0 cm diameter X 1.0 cm height) in place. Once the lit candle is mounted on the metal base, the collapsible red canvas housing (c) (15.2 X 8.0 X 0.5 cm) is raised around it and another square metal piece (d) (8.7 X 8.8 X0.7 cm) is placed on top. The top piece functions as a chimney and has circular opening in the center, allowing smoke to exit and air to enter the lamp in order to fuel the flame.Centered near the top on one face of the red canvas housing there is black text that reads: “THE KODAK CANDLE LAMP”; “MADE IN U.S.A. BY THE EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY ROCHESTER. N.Y”. At the bottom of this face, on the metal frame, is a silver sticker with a black border and black text that reads: “SOLE(?) DISTRIBUTOR(?) IN CANADA CANADIAN KODAK CO., LIMITED”. In the 1914 issue of the Kodak Catalogue, the cost of this candle lamp was $0.25.
