I'll post this here 'cause there is no 35mm section.

As you can see I'm new to this forum (hello to all btw) and I hope someone can help me to identify this 35mm projector. The only thing that I can see written on the projector is 'made in Germany'.

It looks a lot like a Nitzsche Kinino projector but I'm not sure it's from the same manufacturer.

It was made in 1913 in Leipzig by Nitzche Kino, later taken over by Zeiss Ikon in 1933.
It was called the Kinino Heim-Kinematograph Home 35mm Projector.
Nitrate film at home, probably used by children. No health & safety rules at that time then.

I found a picture of the 1913 Kinino projector. Although it's very similar there are some differences. That's why I'm not 100% sure it's from Nitzsche. Maybe it's a later version of the Kinino model or maybe it's a copy by another manufacturer?

I found out who the manufacturer is of this projector.

It's a German projector from Seischab & Co and was produced around 1930.

I wonder if they advertised it that way - film projector and food mixer! Somehow, I don't think Trevor would approve ! [Big Grin]

Hello Erwin,what an interesting site you have.Is the obturator on the machine at eBay an "improved" one? Did it start life with a two blade shutter?What would postage to NZ be please?I guess I'd have sacrifice the transformer and use a locally purchased one.
Lovely stuff,regards,Trev
