2020.4.7a-dDescription
Three yellow camera filters and a Morrocan leather case. The filters consist of two panes of glass adheared together. A glossy black film was painted around the edges of the filters, but it only completely remains on one. The same filter with the frame retains a paper label along its narrow edge reading, "Wrateen [sic] K1 Filter". Four other paper labels are loose in the container and bear the inscriptions "Wratten K2 Filter", "Wratten K1 1/2 Filter", "Wratten No. 7 Filter", and "Wratten No. 6 Filter".
The case opens at the top with two hinges on the reverse. When closed, it is secured by a hidden latch at the front that is release by pressing the hidding button. The top of the case bears the gold inscription, "WRATTEN FILTERS/MANUFACTURED BY/EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY./ROCHESTER, N. Y./TRADE MARKS REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." The inside of the case is lined in purple velvet with two molded protusions on other side to separate the filters from each other. The lid is lined in red satin-woven silk.Use
