- Description
- 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.

- Description
- View-Master 2D projector with its paper ephemera in the original box along with a box of View-Master colour slides in another box.The projector is brown metal with a small lens sticking out the front, a wide slot for the slides between the lens and the bulb, and a small housing with ventilation slats on top that can be removed to expose the light bulb and inner focussing lens. At the back of the projector is the brown power cord, a small white plastic power switch, and a metal screw attached to a rubber foot underneath that can be turned to adjust the height of the projector - attached to the screw is a paper price tag with a piece of string. Other items in the box with the projector are a user’s manual and various adverts for View-Master slides. The box has a deep black body and a white and silver lid. The box of View-Master slides contains 62 round slides in individual paper sleeves, a small green plastic-covered book on Alpine Wildflowers, and View-Master advertising pamphlets. The slides mostly pertain to tropical locations and National Parks throughout North America - all appear to have been purchased, rather than made by the Crosby family. The box has a black body and a shiny gold lid.

- Magic Lantern projector. (a) wooden base with metal components. Embellished cast metal stand on hinge attached to wooden base. Oil lamp component also attached to metal base. The lamp has a bell-shaped base and a wick wheel engraved with the manufacturer name: “WIENER FLACHBRENNER”. There is a wick that moves when the wheel is turned. The wooden base is painted red on top, with black sides. The bottom of the base is natural wood, and has a stamp reading: “NICHOLAS MORANT”; “BANFF, ALBERTA”; “CANADA”. (b) a cover for the lamp that is open on top to allow smoke to escape; it also has a scope with a lens, and can be placed on top the lamp. The scope component sits in the round part of the metal stand. There likely would have been a component between where the scope connects to the lamp cover, that would allow for slides to be placed for projecting. The cover for the lamp is cylindrical, and narrows towards the top.
