AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This lantern has been in my family in France for decades (probably even a Century...)
It was sold by an optical store in Versailles near Paris, named E. Mallet
It seems to have never been used and be complete with all accessories
The GBN 1300/5 is a classic Laterna Magica (Magic Lantern) produced by the Nuremberg-based toy manufacturer Gebrüder Bing (GBN). In historical catalogs (such as the 1898 German editions), "1300/5" is the specific model number that designates a polished steel projection device with a Duplex burner and a brass lens with rack-and-pinion focusing
This vintage device was designed to project various types of glass slides, including colorful static imagery, moving "chromatrope" tableaux, and comical transformation slides onto a wall or screen
