DESCRIPTION: Eastman View No.2 Improved Model Of Century View And Empire State No. 2, 5x7. Wollensak Velostigmat Series I F6.3 5x7 No.18925 lens. Optimo No.2 shutter. Also includes one extension rail and one film holder. Solid brass hardware. Wood looks like it’s Cherry. Patent dated 1902. As shown.
CONDITION: For 113 years old, I would say this camera is in very good condition. All operations are working, but could be improved with cleaning and adjusting. Bellows is firm and intact but does have pinholes/light leaks in the corner edges of folds. Ground glass has some light wear and soiling. Lens glass has separation. Shutter is actually working at all speeds and sounds pretty darn accurate. It hangs up a little on the slower speeds, but with some exercise it should improve. The film holder is okay, but is falling apart, has no hinge and has come unglued. In my opinion, a very solid example for restoration.
PRICE: $ 190
Price does not include shipping. Send PM with zip code for a shipping quote. USA shipping only. Shipping is thru the USPS only and will include tracking and insurance.
PAYPAL ACCEPTED (No echecks accepted from paypal). Money orders also accepted, but must be received within 5 days.
FOR PAYPAL PAYMENTS: If you want to pay for this item using paypal, send me a PM (private message) with the email address you use for Paypal. Once I have that, I will send you an invoice thru paypal. As soon as the invoice is paid, I will ship the item.
NOTE: I will only ship to “CONFIRMED” paypal accounts within the USA. If your paypal account is not confirmed or the shipping address is not in the USA, I’m sorry, but I will deny the payment. Also, please don’t ask me to ship to another address that’s not your registered and confirmed address with paypal. I won’t do it. I hope you understand.
FYI - I have 100% positive feedback as a seller on ebay. If you want to check my reputation let me know. MONEY ALWAYS REFUNDED IF NOT SATISFIED.
PS - 1-3% of my net sales are donated to this sight. I truly appreciate the venue they provide us.
Thank you for your time,
Tom
