The case features a lid with a black covered wood handle and two latches on the slimmer ends. Once unattached the interior of lid features a black cardboard label with white writing that reads “The Sole Canadian Distributor of this VICTOR SOUND ON FILM PROJECTOR is GENERAL FILMS LIMITED” then a horizontal list of Canadian cities of where offices are, where one would be able to get minor repairs and adjustment or service. Underneath the lid, the projector remains mostly concealed with a few cut-outs in the top where we can see parts of the projector such as the lights, a space where the reel arms would attach, the top of the fan, and another latch in the middle. Once the latch is open the one side of the case folds out. Once this is open the main body of the projector is revealed. There is various switches, projector lens, the track for the film reel, and the animatophone (for sound). Along the body of the projector fan is a metal label with gold writing and border, on the top is the Victor Logo ( a circle with a scroll above it), the text underneath reads “16mm CINE’ PROJECTOR”, in fine text “FOR USE WITH SLOW-BURNING ONLY”, in slightly larger text “Made in U.S.A. by VICTOR ANIMATOGRAPH CORPORATION DAVENPORT, IOWA”, “100 TO 120 VOLTS”, a gold rectangle stamped with “950” “WATTS”, “SERIAL NUMBER”, a gold rectangle stamped “116230”, “LAMP WATTAGE”, a gold rectangle stamped “750” “MAX.”, “MODEL”, and a gold rectangle stamped “40”. The three switches read “OFF REWIND”, “OFF PROJECT”, and “SILENT SPEED SOUND SPEED”. On the slimmer ends of the case, there are cut-outs for access to controls and plug-ins. The side where the projection would project has one spot for “P.E.C. VOLTAGE”, a knob for the “MICROPHONE”, a plug-in for “MICROPHONE”, and another plug-in for “PHONO”.

- Description
- Black hard-sided leather No.1 Kodak Series III folding camera. The front panel is released by pressing a small round metal button on the narrow bottom edge [the bottom of the camera is noted by the presence of a threaded hole where a tripod could be mounted] and has a small rectangular metal foot with “Kodak” engraved in decorative writing that keeps the camera propped up. The lens mechanism slides out on tracks with soft black leather bellows behind it and a viewfinder that can be used in portrait and landscape by gently push to the side. There is a art-deco decorated stylus housed next to the lens. There is lots of text along the lens to make adjustments, it is a “DIOMATIC No 0” lens. There are small plaques along the camera base which read “NO. 1 - KODAK SERIES III” “MADE IN CANADA BY CANADIAN KODAK CO., LIMITED TORONTO, ONT 28981”. The back panel of the camera pops off by pressing two metal clasps on both short sides and can house a roll of film. On the back embossed is text that reads “USE “KODAK” FILM NO A120” When the camera is open, on the top is a leather strap with a faded “Kodak” embossed on it.
