- Description
- A Leitz Prado 250 500 slide projector in a brown wooden Leica box with various attachments, lenses, and the user manual. The Leica box has a hinged lid held shut with a metal clasp on the right-hand short side and a handle on the lid. The base of the box also serves as the stand for the projector lens. The projector is matte grey and tucked into the base of the box under the lens is the user manual, a thin metal tool with a loop at one end, a slide insert, a black power cord, a red home-made pad (possibly a cushion), a shiny piece of rectangular metal and a second slide insert housed in a red patterned home-made pouch that snaps closed, and two different-sized convex lenses in black metal frames housed in a white fabric bag.
