Summary
A black painted metal magic lantern with a removable lens and a hinged door on one side. It stands on four feet moulded to imitate paws and these are painted silver. The chimney is in two sections, the upper section is set at an angle to the vertical lower section. In the inside of the base of the magic lantern is a circular depression. The burner (TEMP.550.1-3) fits perfectly into the depression and may be the original burner for this magic lantern.
