I'd love to learn more about th Blopticon Projector. If anyone out there has owned, and/or used one, I'd love to hear from you. I forgot to mention that the projector comes in a hard shell, protective case. The price, of course, is negotiable. Reasonable offers will be considered. Thank you!

Re: Bausch and Lomb Balopticon Projector c 1911
THESE WERE MADE IN LARGE NUMBERS PROBABLY WELL INTO THE 1930S,I HAVE A MODEL A PROJECTOR SIMILAR TO YOURS. OVERALL,THEY WERE IN MANY CASES CONSDERED TO BE MAGIC LANTERNS AS THEY WERE OFTEN USED IN HOMES.. THEY ALSO USED A GLASS 3 INCH BY 4 INCH SLIDE..AND WERE FOUND IN AUDITORIUMS, SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES.AT THE TIME, BAUSCH AND LOMB WAS TO OPTICAL DEVICES AS STEINWAY WAS TO PIANOS. WHAT WERE YOU ASKING FOR THIS PROJECTOR,KINDEST REGARDS,JAMES BRYAN.

I see these go at auction in most cases for under $350.00, those with a good selection of slides will sell for more.
