- Magic lantern projector for Leica film or glass lantern slides. Consists of 2 (two) main parts, one is the projection box and which sits on top of the other. The lower compartment contains the main power outlet (there is a secondary power cord that connects the projector to the base) and possibly provides ventilation. The upper projector has “Leitz” written in silver cursive on the side and the base has a metal tag attached to the middle of the back panel that indicates that part may have been made in New York. The projector is open at the top to allow access to the interior lenses and socket for the lightbulb. There is also an additional lens housed inside a hollow rectangular metal box that can be inserted into the opening to further focus the light through the lens. The exterior lens itself also has 2 (two) metal rods that stick out perpendicular to the box onto which additional focussing lenses and the slide holders can be attached. In addition to the projector boxes there are also 2 (two) metal attachments that look like they slide onto the metal rods (possibly housing for additional lenses), 2 (two) silver metal slide holders that can house 2 (two) slides at once (one has a copper plate that can slide down to cover the opening where light passes through), 2 (two) “General Electric Projection Lamp” lightbulbs in their boxes, a black Leitz-Hektor zoom lens, an extra lens in a cardboard box with “Ubiku für Objoktiv 16.5-12-13.5 cm” stamped on the lid, and 2 (two) instruction manuals for the projector.
