  • Keystone Model E-65 Hand-Cranked Projector

    While going through boxes of old movie stuff I cam across a Keystone Model E-65 Hand-Cranked projector that I had purchased in a thrift shop many years ago. I googled it, and found this:

    An antique Keystone Model E-65 hand-cranked movie projector. This uses a standard light bulb. All the mechanisms appear to be working. The original electric cord is showing it age very much and will be to be replaced or made safe. Quite a charming artifact from another era.

    Mine was missing the lamp house cover, but it did come with a 50' reel with a B&W Mickey Mouse cartoon that appears to be Steamboat Willie (I assume it was released as a digest of the 1928 cartoon).

    Does anyone have more information on this machine they can share? Obviously this was a child's toy and I don't think I am going to need a service manual for it. Any copies of old sales literature, user instruction flyers, etc. would be appreciated.

    From about 1934/5. the E-65 was priced at $3.65.

      Thanks Maurice, that is very interesting. That would be about $74 in 2021. Definitely a child's toy!
