Firstly I hope its ok to post here, its kinda an accessory (albeit an old one!), wasnt sure where else other wise
I am wondering if there are some folks here that know about these old projectors and can give further details...at least for some reason I thought it was a projector (i think that what the person whom i first got it said) but sometimes I think it may be an enlarger (or both?). Can anyone tell me exactly what the differences are? maybe if it was enlarger it would have extra slots for filters?
I think the glass frame holder is not original, i was told it perhaps had a 9x12 carrier before, the one in it at the moment is about 14cmx16cm glass area
I have some old catalogue books around here somewhere with some pictured enlargers, from memory they are from an English company but they are misplaced and I can’t find them at the moment. I haven’t got anything from ICA which is the label attached to the base of the 1000w globe assembly. The plaque on the front standard says Emil Jansen, Special Haus, gegrundet 1890 (the u has the dots over it but I don’t know how to get them to work on my computer), Barmen, Wertherstr 8. I was told it was from 1910-18. I am not sure if that is correct?
Any idea what those slots are for around the front ‘hood’ of the lens? For filters maybe? Are they a common thing?
