For Sale Rare Premo Long Focus 5x7 circa 1895 - All Original

[Fragomeni]

Here is another jewel of my collection. This is a Premo Long Focus 5x7 circa 1895.I have a reproduction of the original catalog which advertised the camera new which I will include with the camera for dating purposes and for historical record. The camera is all original. The Unicum lens and shutter are working but I have not tested times. This may not be the lens the camera was purchased with but it is of the same vintage and one of the lenses originally offered with the camera. Bellows seem light tight and all functions of the camera do work. Closes up into a nice compact box. This is a fairly uncommon camera and would be a great addition to any collection. Asking $900 OBO + shipping.

Gorgeous camera!

Yea, its a beauty! I love the camera but I need the money even more. Tis life I suppose.

More more note on the camera I forgot to mention. Regarding the bellows, as I said before they appear to be light tight but the outer covering is separated from the pleats. Everything still works and folds exactly as it should but just wanted to mention that. For a 116 year old camera its in great working shape!
