Antique 1800s French Made Magic Lantern Slide Projector with Gas Lamp V17. This antique 1800s French-made Magic Lantern slide projector comes with its original internal gas lamp and lens. We do not know who made this projector. The only marking on it reads France. There are a few scuff marks and scratches on its exterior, but nothing major.
The gas lamp has not been tested. It has some discoloration inside of it from the lamp being lit. There is haze inside of the lens, but it is free of any fungus or separation to its elements. It is missing its top vent. Its overall dimensions are 16 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 8 1/2''. See photos and the Description above.NOTE ON VINTAGE CAMERAS AND LENSES: We perform basic functionality tests and visual inspections of our vintage cameras and lenses. Keep in mind that equipment that is decades old should be serviced/CLAd for best performance. The timing mechanisms of cameras and shutters in particular tend to become inaccurate without regular service. We are happy to accommodate local pickups in most cases where an item is heavy or bulky.
We will simply ask you to sign an invoice indicating that you have received your item and to present photo id. This is for your protection and to ensure that only.
We can usually resolve any issues quickly. We are committed your happiness! Once a case opened, our flexibility to help you is more limited. Any product you return must be in the same condition in which you received it and in the original packaging. You may not, without our written authorization, disassemble or remove a cover fastened by screws or rivets.
You may not, without our written authorization, have an item serviced or cleaned. Or do these things yourself. We take pride in serving customers worldwide and have customers in over 50 countries. If this happens, let us know and we will give you a more precise quote. We understand if the duty imposed by your country makes certain items unaffordable.
Unfortunately, we have no control over this. We are buyers of camera and movie equipment, fine mechanical and electronic watches and much more!
