    Hi Alex,
    You might find this interesting as it relates to today's Video.
    Back in the mid to late fifties and even later as an adult, The Historic Strand Theater in Lakewood, NJ was a place where I use to visit.
    The projectionist was named Tommy Tupper.
    He was a union member but I was allowed to climb up into the projection booth with him.
    The projectors at that time ,were still carbon arc and he had film splicing equipment so he could attach lead in commercials and short subjects to the feature films.
    That was a fun time for me. Saturdays were kids days and for , I forget, 25,35 cents or so we had a couple of hours of news, cartoons and serials.
    Those Magic Lantern slides look like collectible art all on their own, they are so bright and fresh looking.
    Cheers,
    Rik Spector

    You could save a slide projector and host an evening story telling night for the area children once your new building goes up. Perhaps next fall, if we’re able to congregate by then.

This is how we did movies back in the day pre internet pre powerpoint. I would love to find a projector again and have some old reels I've inherited and can't watch. When you see most of the stuff you grew up with in an antique store you know you're old. I've got my granny's 1920's sifter and rolling bar for baking. All my other granny's 1910 sheet music. I have no idea what to do with all this. I do try to bake and I do use the sifter. But that old music is way past me. Stephen Foster's greatest hits. Yeah baby.

    Yeah, something from my home town....the small oil lamp! McIntyre Porcupine gold mine is situated in Timmins Ontario. This mine was one of the main reasons the the city came into existence. It was one of the richest gold and copper mines in the nation. Timmins still functions mostly because of mining and lumber but it has grown so much from the gold rush days of the early 1900's and is still thriving. We have gone through boom times and then quiet times but we are still going strong over a hundred years later. Sure was surprised to see that item so far from home.

    They were still using carbon arcs for searchlights in WW2 and beyond. It is only fairly recently that it has been possible to get a brighter light than those things - think of about 500 arc-welders in unison! Carbon was used because it was the most conductive element that didn't just melt.
    The largest UK manufacturer was Compton's in Chelmsford, also home to Marconi (radar, communications incl. radio) and Hoffman's bearings, so the whole area was knee-deep in AA emplacements during WW2. It wasn't a huge place at the time, despite being the county town of Essex and the birthplace of electronics, so despite being not too difficult to find from the air, it escaped without too many unwanted gifts from the Luftwaffe. But a few craters and ruins remained, along with stripped out emplacements for the searchlights, AA batteries and other interesting military features that I played in as a boy in the 60s and early 70s. I'm sure that if the nature of what was being made there had got to the other side, we'd have had far more attention.

    I think the decanter has a windup on the bottom. Music box as well ? :) Love the old oil lantern projector.

    That toilet paper holder with radio would be cute in an outhouse. I'm sure that outhouses still exist.
