I cant find much on the company C.T. Milligan just some hits that they were on Chestnut St. In Philladelphia PA sold lots of camera equipment and of course the Magic Lantern.
This was built for a 3 wick burner but that is missing and some where in the early history of electricity someone put a light bulb on a block of wood with a cord (you will need a maie to male cord) to connect it. I dont have this type of cord or I would have plugged it in.
The addition of the block of wood with the light bulb is can be removed without any damage to the projector.
Both lens are present and the front lens is brass and marked "A. Darlot Opticien Paris" - The baffle is in very good condition and from my inspection no rips or holes and expands and collapses without issues.
Measures - compressed 18" long x 10" tall x 6" wide - Expanded 25" long
Would look great on any shelf or table for display
Original Wood box does have the original information on the inside lid and there are some cracks in the case but over all in good condition - leather handle is missing but hardware for the handle is in place if you would like to recondition the box.
Measures Box - 21.5" long x 8" wide x 10 tall Weight 18 lbs 8 oz

The light on the wood block is in addition to the original magic lantern which would have been illuminated by candle originally and still could be if desired. Shows some wear due to normal use, age, and storage. less
