This is a great Conley Plate camera. It has a wonderful brown leather covering and mahogany finished interior. Unfortunately it's bellows has gone bad.
As you can see in the photos, these Conley Plate cameras were quite advanced. This one has a rotating back, adjustable drop bed for tilt both ways. Spirit levels that still have bubbles in them. And a viewfinder built into the bed.
Included is two original plate holders. The backing where the plate would sit is a bit warped on these, but I the frames are excellent so I think it would be an easy fix. But iirc standard 4x5 film holders will fit.
As a bonus I am including two rare accessories. The first is a lensboard extention that is about 4 inches long. The second is something I have never seen before. It is a extention rail that attaches to the inner rail of the camera, allowing you to completely drop the bed out of view and use extremely wide lenses.
I have no idea how to price this, but I would like to get $150 plus shipping. If no one is interested I can put it on ebay and see what happens.
