Lot Details
Operated by placing a penny coin in the slot and winding the side handle. The Risque 'film' plays being a consecutive photo series plays as a film. The film being 'What The Maid Saw' although not apparently named. Note: The mechanism requiring some attention, the handling turming but not engaging the turning of the reel. All looks okay so suspect a minor fix is required. The photographic plates showing some creasing from years of use. It does plug in to illuminate the viewing.
