Weeden made a few other metal based products, including three styles of magic lanterns. The lantern has a high powered burner and polished French condensing lens with metal reflector. A colored slide is placed in the lantern and, after some focus adjustments, the operator is ready to put on a “slide show”. A swinging cover or door on the side is embossed “OPENING TO REGULATE THE WICK”. Produced in the 1880s and 1890s. Some paint loss throughout.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: 10 - 1/4" x 8". Base: 5 - 1/2".
