THIS CAMERA WILL NOT DISSAPPOINT. Everything from the scuff-free bottom plate to the supple light-tight bellows, and the flawless finish make this Deardorff a collectors dream. Everything works exactly as it should... tight joints, smooth gearing... it looks like it just stepped out of the showcase. I really don't know if this is original or completely refinished; I just couldn't resist it. Bad news is that it has been sitting on display, unused, in my office for over a year.
I sent pics to Ken Hough and he told me, "Its a late 1937 early 38 model. The summer of 38 they started using a Stainless rear swing. Fall of 37 they started nickle plating the brass. This is sort of a transition model" -Ken Hough
This beautiful camera needs to get off the shelf and get to work. If comes with both the 5x7 and 4x5 backs, one original lensboard with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 21cm brass barrel lens, one finished lensboard with a copal 1 hole poorly cut by me, and several other unfinished homemade boards. The buyer of this beauty really needs to seek out original boards to properly match the perfect finish.
PayPay USA verified addresses only please. Camera will be carefully packed and shipping fully insured within the CONUS for $30.
Camera complete as described and shown in the pics below... $1950.00
