Spotted this weird thing. It looks like it might fit a very large view camera but what are the odd "horns" out in front of the lens.

The front part of a very old projector, probably from the 1920s.

If it is a front unit for projector, must be an high class one. It includes rail slots, thus provided vertical shift adjustment.
The lens in the listing marked "Mod.W" looks pretty much like my "Mod.Ki" which was presumably intended for cine projection. I wonder what "W" could mean. |

It has a 30cm focal length. Then the projector was to use large plates. |

Thanks Ian, I figured a projector or maybe the front of a bellows camera. Still curious about the doohikeys, maybe handles to move the front up and down on the standards which probably went up through the tubes attached on either side?
