What do you all make of this? The seller describes it as a "peephole
device", but the original serial number plate reads "Projecting
Kinetiscope". The cabinet at first glance appears to be home made,
but the age of it seems honest; not faked to look old. The external
hardware certainly appears to be age-appropriate, and yet the cabinet
wood looks like pine or fir, which would be odd for the time.
The mechanism appears intact, but I don't see anything that's
obviously involved with projection. Is this part of a larger affair,
or something made from a more complete device to adapt it to a
different use?
