About the Item

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note: This antique MAY qualify for our gallery wide ~EXTRA~ 10-25% off sale, Going on now. Please inquire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Offered for your consideration is this rare and authentic King Barker 35mm Hand Crank Cinema Camera. The Barker Brothers had these made by the Angeles Camera Company of California. The camera was patented in 1915 and was both a 35mm cinema camera and a projector (and a printer) with the added rear projection light source ( not included here). It is an almost identical machine to the earlier Williamson type camera made in the UK. This camera is very original with strong patina from over 101 years of existence. All original 1916 wood and brass. The top leather strap and rear projection lamp input port cover appear to be later, but still old additions to replace the missing originals, but all else is factory original from 1916. From the original rare hand crank to the original Zeiss taking lens, a wonderful find from the early era of film production. The later vintage tripod with geared chrome head is included in the price. “Like artifacts of an ancient civilization - these rare legends of early Motion Picture and related production equipment technology - have a secure and appreciating place in history.” About Our Firm: We specialize in CERTIFIED cinema equipment antiques and artifacts circa 1900 to 1969 and beyond, representing the Art Nouveau, Machine Age, Art Deco, Industrial Age and Mid Century Periods.

We offer partial or full refurbishment and various levels of restoration services at our Workshop. All antique items sold are carefully preserved, cleaned and gently prepared at no extra charge according to the wishes of our buyers.

We also offer a signed and sealed Certificate of Authenticity with all antique items sold. SHIPPING NOTE: If a shipping price is quoted here, it is completely GENERIC. PLEASE INQUIRE FOR AN EXACT QUOTE BASED ON YOUR SPECIFIC NEED AND LOCATION. NOTE Due to the nature of online photo reproduction we cannot be responsible for exact photographic color, hue, contrast and flash and non flash exposure accuracy in our photos. While we do our best to display photos that are as accurate as possible, our photos may or may not depict the absolute EXACT hue or color tone of our antiques due to the many variables in image photography, image exporting, image uploading and viewer monitor accuracy. Please ask about color tone and hue BEFORE buying, if this is a concern! Your inquiries are welcomed on this matter. NOTE: In the interest of antique presentation and historical accuracy, we do not alter or modify our electrical, optical, mechanical or electronic antiques, with the exception of some vintage light fixtures (which we DO correctly convert internally to modern electrical working household standards). Therefore some electrical and mechanical items MAY or may not perform and operate. We sell these as accurate display and collectible antique items. Your inquiries are welcomed on this matter. We are ALWAYS here to help and offer many options for the proper presentation of your cinema equipment antiques.  Thank You.
