I have for sale this camera, which i was going to work on, but i have no time for.

It is a beater:
Viewing hood has a tear, and top handle is missing.
Other issues you would expect from a 100 year old camera.

the good:
Curtain shutter works on all speeds, but speeds are way off for the most part.
Lens bellows is good.
Glass is fairly clean.
Exterior is fairly clean.
Mirror and ground glass are fairly clean and bright.

Ask any questions.

100$ + actual shipping in the US OBRO - PLEASE MAKE IT GO AWAY!

International shipping on your ticket, % to APUG, Paypal OK, i pay the fees.

What is the serial number? Behind the lens hood on the right side if the lens is facing you.

4"x5" or 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"?
