Antique Magic Lantern Slide Mechanical Kaleidoscope elm city national bank and wired on the back

and wired on the back for horizontal hanging

I am not certain the age of this piece

They do not stand steadily on their own so would need a stand or something to lean against if not hanging

I think this one would make a great frame for an old painting on board

It needs a piece of glass

Antique Magic Lantern Slide Mechanical Kaleidoscope elm city national bank and wired on the backI've always found kaleidoscopes pretty magical, and even better one's you don't have to look through a scope to see. Turning the handle here rotates one of two colorful round glass slides, making kaleidoscopic patterns as it shifts in relation to the static one. Just a lovely thing, especially great set near a window to hold to the light for optimal viewing. Overall: 7 3 4" long including handle. Kaleidoscope glass is 1 3 4" in diameter. Very good
