<p class="p1">Rare 35 mm movie camera, equipped with a side crank for film transport and a black-coated body. An interesting feature is that it comes with its own projection system, including a lantern, reels, and a pulley mechanism mounted on a wooden base. This set allowed both filming and projection, in an ingenious design typical of the early days of amateur cinema. In good overall condition, with signs of wear, complete and rare in this combined camera/projector configuration. Although less well known than the major French or German companies, Italian production during this period was evidence of an inventive local industry, albeit with more limited distribution. 1920-30.</p>
