Bidspirit auction | Early 1900s ”Royal” Hand Crank

Early 1900s ”Royal” Hand Crank Movie Projector - Due to the size/weight/fragility of this item, it will require a pick up or customer-arranged 3rd-party shipping. We will connect you with reputable transport companies after the auction. Unrestored carbon arc projector which is mostly complete. Still has the hand crank and comes with extra lens. A rare, seldom seen item that would be outstanding in a home theatre. Overall fair to good condition. Approx 56” high x 40” wide x 20” deep Before 'Talkies', there were silent movies and many would have been shown from this functioning machine. With an adjustable carbon arc lamp house and Magic Lantern slide carrier and lens, it's mostly complete with the exception of the carbon arc rod holder. In as-found condition - perfect candidate for a full restoration! Measures (assembled) approximately: 56”T X 37”L X 20”W
