Description: 

Antique Reynolds and Branson Mahogany Magic Lantern. 

This appears to have been pre electricity, but there are two vintage bulbs in a box that may have been used for some adaption. There is however no electrical fitting present now. 

Has various accessories including the original velvet shroud that slides on the back and is supported by metal rods - please see photos. 

There is a brass removable lese that fits in the front

The top of the case at the back opens with a top hinge but the wooden hinged flap does not cover the whole section - there may have been an internal tray to slide a light source in an out but this is missing 

There is a slide carrier and a round brass lens cover but I am not sure if they are definitely for this device as I can't figure out how they fit. 

The main magnifying glass in the unit has a crack in it (see photos, it's difficult to show it) but the lens to the front is intact and also the lens on the removable section is intact

Has the original wooden case
