movies on the magic lantern
Cinematograph made by Johann Falk, Germany.
A small metal shield with the J.F. trademark is fitted to the front.

Below an almost similar cinematograph made by J.F. with a somewhat different side door  and a pressed trademark in the top of the front.
 
J.F./B.W.
Another cinematograph made by Johann Falk (J.F.). The company established a close cooperation with Bing Werke (B.W.) in the 1920s, producing some magic lanterns and cinematographs with a combined J.F. and B.W. trade mark (see 3rd photo). The cinematograph is packed in a cardboard box provided with a label (see 4th photo).
Measures 19 cm high, 24 cm long. The wooden accessory is probably a product of home handcrafts and can be removed.

Mounted on a wooden base plate complete with the objective carrier and the projection lens.


The cinematograph is packed in a wooden case. The lit is provided with a colourful label.

J.F./B.W.

The company of Johann Falk joined forces in the 1920s with the Gebrüder Bing, at which a number of products were provided with a combined JF and BW trademark. This cinematograph also carries this combined trademark on the front, above the slide/ film holder. The top of the lamp housing can be lifted to replace the electric lamp.

This cinematograph was also produced in the 1920s by the German magic lantern manufacturer Johann Falk in a close cooperation with Bing Werke (see the combined J.F. and B.W. trademark).
