Kodak Six-16 folding camera. It was manufactured from 1932 to 1937, used long-discontinued 616 rollfilm to make 2-1/2 x 4-1/4-inch negatives, and cost $40 new.

Dig those crazy rails!

Here is an unusual table aquarium called the "Spirit of the Nile". The statuettes swivel to allow a snug fit for the bowl. Possibly Frankart, Nuart, or Verona, but there are no ID marks. I believe this proper replacement bowl shape was originally a green-tint "Vaseline" type.

Here's a circa 1930 chalkware boudoir lamp. I redid the wiring, made a new frosted diffuser shade, and touched it up. The finish really looks like bronze and it has a place for a pack of cigarettes. It's fairly large - 9" X 7". Underneath is a tag which reads "Mackey Mfg. Chicago". I cannot find a word about the company. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Nice. I saw the exact same lamp in a local antiques place here that I can get for about $250. Needs a cord though to be safe, but it has the original deco glass. If I get it, I'll post a pic.
