    Description

    This is a tin  safe-light powered by a kerosene lamp, Safe-light for B&W darkrooms. They allow a very dim amount of light in the red or yellow spectrum that allows the dark-adjusted eye to see what's going on but doesn't affect the paper emulsion when processing photos in chemical-filled trays. Both the yellow and red glass filters are missing,normally  fit into slots accessible by a hatch on the top of the unit (just in front of the chimney).
    There are times you don't want a safe-light - during focusing with the enlarger and anytime you're handling undeveloped film - so there's a metal flap that allows the light to be turned "off" (covered) without needing to extinguish the flame. The cover is staying but loose.
    The dimensions are 3.5"wide/deep and 8.75" tall. MISSING THE GLASS.
    1900 Vintage.  More than 100 years Old Antique. Excellent Piece  of History to Own, for  Collecting, Using  or Display!
