Here's a piece of photographic history. This is a very old safelight made by the Vive Camera Company, Chicago, Il (see links below).

The company appears to have gone out of business in 1908, so this must be at least 106 years old. It operates by a candle. Very interesting piece of history, and while quite dirty, looks fully functional to my eyes. $18, including shipping to anywhere in the US. US sale only please. Candle not included :]
