- Description
- Box of one dozen 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 glass Seed’s Dry Plates with cut paper adhesive tape around the edges and bottom and manufacturer details printed on a pale green background throughout the lid. These dry plates were invented by M.A. Seed in 1879 and became very popular with photographers as the plates came pre-prepared with the emulsion layer already applied - prior to “dry” plates, photographers would need portable dark rooms in which they would create their liquid emulsions prior to taking a photograph [known as “wet” plates]. Seed’s dry plates still required they be opened in a dark room, but this could be accomplished in the field by placing a dark sheet over the camera while loading and unloading the plates. In 1902, Eastman Kodak purchased Seed’s company [Seed Dry Plate Co.], but continued to capitalize on his name due to its reputation among consumers.

Each box is mostly yellow with black and red manufacturer and product details throughout - there are two paper adhesive stickers holding the box closed, the one that has the expiration date on it on each box is broken.Verichrome was a kind of panchromatic film that yielded high-quality black and white photographs thanks to the fine-grained emulsion. Film Packs were basic forms of storage meant to be used shortly after purchasing as their [mostly] paper packaging did not keep out oxygen well and had a tendency to fog over time, rendering the film unusable in the long term. It was replaced by the more stable Verichrome Pan in the 1950s.

- Description
- One paper-wrapped package of 45x107mm Ilford Alpha Lantern Plates with white and red paper adhesive labels on the top and front of the package containing manufacturer details. These lantern plates would serve as the positive mount for the lantern slide made from the original negative. Lantern slides are glass-based transparencies that were displayed by being projected through an early projector called a magic lantern. Starting as hand-painted images on glass, lantern slides quickly adapted to first black-and-white and then colour photography and faded from popularity with the rise of celluloid film and motion pictures.

- Small round silver metal 5 cm camera lens attachment with small horizontal runners that slide into the base on the tops of most cameras. This lens is most likely a specifically-adjusted sight for a larger lens, based on the small size and the presence of a black rectangle printed on the glass of the lens.The box consists of a white cardboard body with a partially torn housing inside for the lens that slides horizontally into a green cardboard sleeve. The green section has a narrow strip of adhesive tape around it, blocking most of the text on both the top and bottom - a small white rectangular price tag with “10.20” written on it in blue ink also obscures the text on the box.
