Description   Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4   NEWTON’S QUALITY ‘SMALLS’   Newton Art & Antiques specialises in sourcing and selling intriguing, small, easily mailable antique and vintage objects of a generally non-fragile nature. To qualify for inclusion in my stock, an item should fulfil at least three of the following criteria; it should be old, rare, beautiful, well made or interesting.   In order to ensure a rapid turn-around and customer satisfaction, items will be listed for five days only and will be posted as soon as possible after Paypal payment has been received. Money back if not entirely satisfied.   To speed matters up, I’m not messing around with artificially low starting prices but will begin with an amount for which I’m willing to part with an item. As I am dealing only in items which appeal to my personal taste, I am perfectly happy for them to remain in my possession should they fail to sell. There are no Reserve prices.   I hope that my comments on style, possible date and condition can be taken with confidence; I have a Fine Arts degree from the University of Cambridge and have been collecting and dealing in antiques and curios for forty years. My Feedback file of happy customers should also give you confidence in my judgement and efficiency!   Unless stated otherwise below, all items - including books - can be taken to be in what would be generally regarded as good condition. Where the size of an item is fairly self-evident it has been omitted. As I say, if you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, I will be happy to refund your money and postal charges.   Please note that I can only accept payment via Paypal.   Postage: I take items to the Post Office for mailing in batches of 7or 8. If you pay for the item immediately on receipt of my Invoice at the end of the sale, it will be mailed to you within 48 hours. If payment is delayed, then the item will be posted when its turn comes. Items not paid for after 10 days will be relisted. I like a quick turn-around and want to be able to post items as quickly as possible, basically. See Feedback for comments about speed of postage for prompt payers. Please remember the Paypal Only stipulation.   FURTHER COMMENTS ABOUT THIS ITEM: 18 x 12cms. 47 pages of text, 12 pages of lantern-related adverts. Full instructions geared to teachers about the applications of Magic Lanterns in School lessons and details of operations, special effects, slide preparation and mounting etc., etc. Then 12 pages of advertisements for Lanterns and related products. Binding a little loose, but sound; pages clean. Exceptionally rare; not a single copy available on the Internet's largest antiquarian bookselling site (13,000,000 books, 25,000 dealers). Nothing comes up when one Googles the title, details etc; so VERY scarce indeed. Won't be relisted if unsold at this generous starting price.Some extra 'effects have been hand drawn onto paper and inserted loosely. They are shown here, and include the famous 'Dr Pepper's Ghost' theatrical projection trick.P.S. If you like the look of my goods, please check my listings regularly as around 5-10 new items are scheduled to appear every day. In the run-up to Christmas I’ll be listing lots of quirky, intriguing and inexpensive little ‘stocking fillers’, so keep on checking!   N.B. Please excuse occasionally blurred photographs which were taken in inadequate, early morning light. In these cases the texture and detail of the original item is much more sharp, crisp and appealing.
