The patent dates show from April 14, 1891 to June 21, 1904. This is a very large camera measuring 12” x 3.75” x 6.5”. The image size was 6.5” x 4.25 with the film rolled on a 5” spool. From Kodak records the closest film size I can find is 115 introduced 1898, discontinued in Mar 1949 and measured 6   3/4 x 4 ¾.  The camera has a focal plane shutter that works very sluggishly and probably not is useable condition. The brass lens is fairly clean with the black paint the had been on the front element being mostly gone. There is also a roughly cut thin piece of metal behind the lens.  The front can be a little difficult to open – if the button doesn’t work – lower the tab and pull. The viewfinder is not clear. The front has a rising front, lateral shift and a swing.In Kodak numbers the production of this camera was very limited around a 1000 making this camera quite rare. Overall this unique camera is in collectable condition.Sold As IsPayment: PayPal or Money Order preferred for quick shipment. No Personal Checks.
