At ArtFactory.com, our 101 point antiques restorations are second to none due to our decades of experience, and attention to detail. Furthermore, all of our antiques restorations are certified to world class fine art standards by award winning artist H.J. Nick. This customer asked for us to restore this machine as a wedding anniversary gift for his wife.
The original Felix The Cat reel has been removed and replaced with a reel of their wedding photos by our experts. This is an original Mutoscope M.M.M. 84 from the late 1800's and early 1990's that was manufactured By International Mutoscope Reel 60 Inc. of New York, New York U.S.A.. It has been completely restored both inside and out to original manufacture specifications. All parts are original and complete with makers marks and have been fully polished and painted as pictured.
History Of The Mutoscope
The Mutoscope works on the same principle as the flip book. The individual image frames are conventional black-and-white, silver-based photographic prints on tough, flexible opaque cards. Rather than being bound into a booklet, the cards are attached to a circular core, rather like a huge Rolodex. A reel typically holds about 850 cards, giving a viewing time of about a minute. The reel with cards attached has a total diameter of about 10 inches (25 cm); the individual cards have dimensions of about 2 3⁄4 in × 1 7⁄8 in (7.0 cm × 4.8 cm).
Mutoscopes are coin-operated. The patron views the cards through a single lens enclosed by a hood, similar to the viewing hood of a stereoscope. The cards are generally lit electrically, but the reel is driven by means of a geared-down hand crank. Each machine holds only a single reel and is dedicated to the presentation of a single short subject, described by a poster affixed to the machine.
