Disc slides part 2 |
 |
 |
| Two disc slides, clearly marked with the makers name J.S., trade mark of the Nuremberger toy manufacturer Jean Schoenner. Measures 4 3/8" (11 cm) across. In the centre the titles: left: in three languages: Kinderleben - La vie des enfants - Child's life, right: Caractères and the other languages unreadable. | |

Another three disc slides made by Jean Schoenner. Among others
The fairy tale of Snow-White. |
||
 |
||
 |
These ten disc slides all have a trademark in the
centre without the name of a manufacturer. They are numbered by Roman
numerals and are entitled in three languages. Because some images are similar to images on the discs above made by Jean Schoenner, it is plausible that these discs are also made by J.S., but others assign them to Ernst Plank. |

This is an extremely scarce
camera used for creating round magic lantern slides. The nickel-plated
camera has a patent date of July 27, 1886 and is stamped 25117
near the hinge (see details). The diameter of the camera is 5,75" and it
exposes up to six 1.5" diameter round exposures onto a 5 3/8” glass
plate. The spring-loaded shutter works by pulling the metal rod tab
located near the hinge, and a ratchet attached to the 1-6 counting arrow
winds the spring for the shutter. The camera has a 5 3/8” diameter round
glass slide inside which has some flakes. |
