    If I’m not mistaken, it’s a magic lantern.

    It’s a stereo-opticon lantern, an old projector.

    I knew you folks would get it quick!

    You are all correct. It is a “magic latern”. The projector would be used to project postcards and photographs. This one sports a beautiful Japan copper finish and two slide holders.

    A lovely find.

    Way to go, you guys!
