Description |
Metal case for the Edison Home Kinetoscope. This case held essentially a home movie projector that could be set up in a person's home and reels of film could be rented from a wide selection of catalog choices. Also home movies could be taken with a separate motion picture film camera and developed to be played on this projector. We have the Edison Home Kinetoscope in our Music and Movies Gallery that would fit into this metal case. This metal case was made between 1912 and 1914. |
