Polychrome magic lantern PRODUCED BY  Gebrüder Bing (founded in 1866 in Nuremberg by Ignaz and Adolf Bing). In 1908, it proclaimed itself “the largest toy factory in the world” and shortly before the start of the 1914 war, it employed 5,000 people, an unusual workforce for the time. During  this period the company produced a very popular range of lanterns for children with fairy tales subjects ,  Cinderella , Bluebeard , Little Tom Thumb , they  have the orange  paper wraping around  indicative of a   German production  featuring  orange or red paper wrap . ( wood box for the slides included ).I inserted an electrical light replacing  the orginal petrol light  so it can be used safely. I can include the original oil light if desired .

Size  H.13 x W.6 x L .10 ( include lense ) in .
