Drawn on the inside of the lid in black, yellow, and red is a caricature of a face with a thought bubble that reads “AUNT MARTHA LIKES THIS ONE.” The exterior of the case is covered in faded and torn travel stickers and labels, there is also “D7” spray painted in yellow on the lid under the handle, on both short sides, and on the back.

- 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.

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.

- 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.
