- Description
- Square black plastic tool with a clear window in the top and a translucent window on an angle at the front - visible through the top window is an angled mirror, not accessible, so that light can move through the tool. Housed in a cardboard box with several scratched out things written on the lid - only “staples” is legible. The tool could be used to preview slides/negatives by placing them on the translucent window and placing the tool underneath a direct light source such as a lamp. Alternatively, the tool could be used as a precise light focus magnifier during photograph development/enlargement.

- Two heavy black-painted metal stands, possibly used to hold up flood/spotlights during photo shoots. Each stand consists of a triangular base through which it appears support crossbars would be fed and two further extensions [tightened/loosened by slim diamond-shaped knobs] can be extended from the main part of the stand. All of the knobs throughout the stand have a stylized R and M overlapping inside a circle on them, but no information as to a manufacturer could be found. One stand has a faded and warped Canadian Pacific Railway travel tag attached to it by a short length of wire - the tag displays Morant’s address on both sides.
