DESCRIPTION: From doing some research, I deduced this down to being an 8x10 National View Camera With Extension, Betax No.4 Wollensak Shutter & Two Kodak Film Holders With Slides. There is no markings on the lens to indicate what the glass is and I dont know the focal length.
CONDITION: I would say this baby is in great condition with age and use appropriate wear, soiling & dust. All knobs are present and working, movements are working, ground glass is good, solid brass fittings are tarnished, side level has fluid missing out of the lower horizontal bubble, wood has wear, spring back has had some repairs over the years but is very solid, film holders have wear. The bellows are pretty darn good with some dryness, but no tears or holes Just age wear inside creases that allow light to seep through. The shutter works but speeds are eratic. Shutter cover with the lettering is loose from the housing. The lens glass is very good with no significant problems, no fungus, very faint scratches/cleaning marks. Lens board is not original but works. All in all a very fine example of an antique 8x10.
PRICE NOTE: Honestly, I really dont know what to ask for this camera. If allowed, Ill take offers. If that offends someone, Ill remove the listing. Thanks.
Price Includes Shipping. USA shipping only. Shipping is thru the USPS only and will include tracking and insurance.
PAYMENT NOTE: If you want this item, 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.
PLEASE READ: I will only ship to confirmed paypal accounts within the USA. If your paypal account is not confirmed and the shipping address is not in the USA, Im sorry, but I will deny the payment. 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.
PS - 5% of my net sales are donated to this sight. I truly appreciate the venue they provide us.
Thank you for your time,
Tom
