- Description
- Dark blue hard-sided travel case with metal corner braces, black reinforcements along all edges, wood runners length-wise along the bottom and front, a wooden handle attached to the hinged lid with metal brackets, and three metal clasps - only the centre one has a keyhole. Attached to the handle by a piece of string is a leather travel tag with a clear plastic window showing Morant’s Canadian Pacific details on a white card. Also attached to the handle with string are the remnants of various paper travel tags. The interior of the case is lined with beige fabric and both the body and lid are divided into various compartments. One section of the body lifts out as a separate box, revealing a hidden compartment below. Inside the removable box is: a cardboard box containing 5x7 glass negatives (there are two pieces of glass layered in paper inside), two separate lens rings in their own red fabric bags, and various clinching couplings (one in its original plastic baggie). In the lid compartment are two metal braces, function unknown.In the other compartments are a square yellow filter in a black metal frame, a “KODAK POLA-SCREEN HOLDER, MODEL B” with a glass lens still attached, the back negative holder section of a 5x7 camera and negative holder, and a “KODAK EKTACHROME 64 Professional Film” info sheet.
