With the small lever on top, you can move the rod with the lamp socket, and therefore the bulb, up and down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs can be seen, it is fully complete and working. It comes with slides from 1929, featuring the following fairy tales:\u003cbr\u003eRobinson Crusoe\u003cbr\u003eThe Wishing-Table, the Gold-Donkey and the Cudgel in the Sack\u003cbr\u003eCinderella\u003cbr\u003eLittle Red Riding Hood\u003cbr\u003eHansel and Gretel\u003cbr\u003eSnow White\u003cbr\u003eTom Thumb\u003cbr\u003ePuss in Boots\u003cbr\u003eThe Pied Piper of Hamelin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photos of the slides were taken against a white screen that was just not quite wide enough, which makes it look as if a piece has been cut off, but that is not the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fairy tale slides are still complete, are still in their original box, and are by the German maker Johann Falk. The magic lantern itself is not marked; a very similar oil-burning model was marked Johann Falk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is unknown whether the cord and lamp socket are original; I expect the cord is not, as these were often braided cords.\u003cbr\u003eIt is fitted with a halogen bulb, which does get very hot, but you can of course fit an LED bulb instead.\u003cbr\u003eIt is 230V and has an E27 socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis magic lantern does not run on oil, so strictly speaking it doesn't belong on an oil lamp site. It is an exception: a special, original lantern that I wanted to offer here all the same.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Oil Lamps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53839987605840,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/6620\/2448\/files\/IMG20261020203556.jpg?v=1792528886","url":"https:\/\/rareoillamps.com\/products\/fantastic-complete-electric-magic-lantern-original-including-fairy-tale-slides-by-johann-falk-most-likely-1930-1950","provider":"Rare Oil Lamps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
