For Sale FS: Scovill Waterbury Camera

[Fotoguy20d]

For sale, a Scovill camera (like the Waterbury model but probably the Leader). It's a 5x7 model with a roughly 8" FL Waterbury lens in Chrome (or nickel). Includes the wooden tripod shown. Its been a display camera for me but I don't have the space for it.

The lens is missing its front aperture. I don't believe it had a wheel since there's no slot, but you can see evidence of something inside the barrel.

The camera is in generally nice shape. A couple of slightly backed out screws on the front standard. There's evidence of cracks and repair on the center guide on the bed for the rear standard. The lens board is a home made one from an old cigar box. I don't know if the bellows are light tight but I would doubt it.
