The Director Fabian - Antique Magic Lantern

The Director Fabian is an antique small magic lantern device.

He is made from tin, with four gold pained claw feet, two latching doors, one on the side and one in the rear for placing the burner. Instead of a burner we have this device converted with a torch for easy, safe and instant use.

His chimney piece along with the adjustable lens is detachable.

An amazing find and a fine example similar to German manufacture Ernest Plank who also made toy steam engines. 

This particular lantern has a gold embosses logo on the front. A star shaped badge that has the initials F.N.N. in the centre and the Latin motto "OPUS CORONAT LABOREM" around the edge. 

Made by Fritz Neumeyer in Germany, who is first and foremost known as the co-founder of the Zündapp factory of motorbikes

Magic lantern dates 1880-1890
