See and Draw Copier

I saw Michael's cool Graphoscope and wanted to share the one in my collection.  I also have another similar toy, but it's a clown that draws for you.  Panto, I think is his name.  I've never tried this thing.  I'm sure it gives you a bad shadowy image to copy.  I'll have to give it a try.

Hello everyone!  Thank you to Michael for inviting me to be part of this blog.  My name is Angelica Paez and I am a vintage photo collector and collagist, but I also like ephemera and all sorts of old, odd junk.  I'll be digging deep in the vault for fun and interesting things to post. Until then!
