Made, circa the later 1920's, in Bridgeport CT by the Lindstrom Co, this piece is all there and has the iconic look of a classic and very early 16mm home movie projector which would grace any bookshelf or table in a home or office.

Measuring over 10" tall, this piece is sold as a display artifact and has not been restored for correct operation but the look is fabulous and authentic.

The hand crank works smoothly. The original factory label is in place and not fully intact but is mostly there. The slip on red hand crank handle end cover was added in later years and can be easily removed for original accuracy.

This projector is supplied loaded with a reel of early 16mm double perforated silent b&w film, also included for an accurate and proper display.
