- A Candle Lamp for use in a dark room. The foundation of the Candle Lamp consists of a square metal base (a) (8.5 X 8.5 X0.9 cm), which contains a raised circular ring that serves to hold the candle (b) (4.0 cm diameter X 1.0 cm height) in place. Once the lit candle is mounted on the metal base, the collapsible red canvas housing (c) (15.2 X 8.0 X 0.5 cm) is raised around it and another square metal piece (d) (8.7 X 8.8 X0.7 cm) is placed on top. The top piece functions as a chimney and has circular opening in the center, allowing smoke to exit and air to enter the lamp in order to fuel the flame.Centered near the top on one face of the red canvas housing there is black text that reads: “THE KODAK CANDLE LAMP”; “MADE IN U.S.A. BY THE EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY ROCHESTER. N.Y”. At the bottom of this face, on the metal frame, is a silver sticker with a black border and black text that reads: “SOLE(?) DISTRIBUTOR(?) IN CANADA CANADIAN KODAK CO., LIMITED”. In the 1914 issue of the Kodak Catalogue, the cost of this candle lamp was $0.25.

- Metal developing tanks dimensions: 13.6x11.6x17.2 or smaller.Torn and crinkled label free-floating inside case reads “DALLON SS TANKS 3 1/4 X 4 1/4 24 CAPACITY.” DALLON most likely refers to David Allan (Dallan) sheet metal workers, specializing in darkroom products, of London England. Case is a hard-sided black leather box with a lid that hinges open and held open with a brown leather strip on the left-hand side - also has silver metal clasps and carry handle on the front of the case. The case’s interior is lined with grey fabric and the main compartment is divided into two equal sections that house the metal developing tanks. Nailed to the bottoms of each compartment are pieces of wood to prevent the tanks from sliding around. The metal tanks have lids that lift off - one has notches that could have been used to latch the lid down, but no latches remain, and the other has holes in the middle of the lid from where a handle used to be, the handle is missing. Inside the tanks are cradles with lifting handles at either end and removable curved brackets to mount the film in. One tank has what appears to be a vent with a cap on one end, the cap appears to be stuck in place. Folded-up newspaper packed into empty spaces of case beside the tanks, removed.
