"Radioptican" Antique Postcard Projector

This type of early 1900s electric projector was used to project postcards on a wall or screen for all to view. This one actually works (although the room must be in full darkness). The front lens and internal lens are mounted in a metal tube that is slid in and out of the unit to focus the image. It has two postcard mounting plates so the operator can switch the first card as others view second card. The two chimneys on top are to allow the heat from the two electric bulbs to escape. The earlier models used two gas jets that had to be lit from the back. This projector was built by the H.C. White Co., Bennington VT. This is a great edition to anyone's antique postcard collection.
