2020.1.120Description
1940's projector made by Revere Camera Company. Projector is bronze in color with a motor, light box with bulb, two spots of the film reel, gears to adjust focus, and a large heavy base that adjust the angle of the film. The projector comes with cord and wall plug in. The case opens from the front to hold the projector reels and cord. Projector motor runs but makes noise and smells. The light doesn't work most likely from the bulb being burned out. There are multiple markers marks and labels on the exterior of the projector. Accessories are on empty reel.
The projector sold for a retail price of $120.00 without the case in the 1940's.Made/Created
