This is an amazing antique magic lantern, also commonly referred to as a stereopticon or glass slide projector.  These were popular from the late 19th to the early 20th century and were the earliest ancestors of modern slide projectors and movie projectors.  It includes a top metal lamphouse/housing box with a small access door, a central stage or slide carrier section, a flexible red accordion bellows and a heavy brass barrel lens at the base. It has wonderful optics.  The bellows are not cracked or damaged in any way and are still very flexible.  The central stage or slide carrier section is made of wood and can hold two 4&#34; x 5&#34; negatives or positives.  Has its original cloth-covered cord which appears to be in good condition and felt safe to use. As you can see in the photos the bulb is in working order. Comes in its original transport box.  This model was made around 1900 by the famous early photography firm Underwood & Underwood.  This projector is known as the &#34;Academic&#34; model large-format slide projector.

This is a large antique copper bucket.  Buckets such as this were historically hand-hammered; see the second photo for a good view of the hammer marks.  It has a heavy forged iron swing handle or bail handle.  Large buckets such as this were typically used for cooking down apple butter, boiling down sugar or syrup or large-scale confectionery boiling of candy and jelly.  The last photo shows the seam.

Etruscan Majolica Wild Rose Large Pitcher Made in Phoenixville

This hand painted piece is a beautiful stunning piece of Moriage.  The raised dragon is made by a process called Moriage.  Moriage is a traditional Japanese technique where slip clay is hand-applied to create highly raised, dimensional and tactile 3D designs. It is beautifully painted with golden accents that make it pop and look like it flows from the top of the lid to the bottom of the pot.  We find no defects in this wonderful piece.  It dates back to 1920 through 1950.

Vintage Japanese Cobalt Blue Moriage Dragonware Teapot

We are fairly sure this piece of sign is from the J.J. Newberry store, which was located on the 200 block of Bridge Street in Phoenixville.  We already have 2 identical pieces so we are offering this one up for auction.  The lines and features scream of the Art Deco architectural period.  It does have a crack on the right-hand side as can be viewed in the photos.  That building eventually became Heidi Sue Variety and today is Conshohocken Brewing.  This sign was probably made in the 1920&#39;s or 30&#39;s. It appears to be made of a plaster. It is an amazing find, don&#39;t miss this piece of Phoenixville History or if you do you can always stop by and see one of the other ones we have!
