Eastman View No.2 5x7 Improved Model of Century View And Empire State No.2

A very nice example of a very old Eastman View No.2 Improved with original sliding tripod block. Also comes with an unfinished repro lens board.

Known Issues: 

Holes in the top of the rear standard are not original to the camera. Someone in the past must have mounted a view finder at one point. Does not affect function of camera though.

One screw from front rise hardware is missing. Can easily be replaced.

Hardware  knob for front rise on left side is not original as can be seen in photos. Does not affect operation of mechanism although it is aesthetically unpleasing. 

Unknown Issues:

Original red bellows. I have lightly cleaned the outer portion of the bellows with venetian cream. I am not sure if the bellows are light tight. However they are intact and supple, moving freely. There are not any tears or rips that I can tell of. There is minimal dust inside. There does not appear to be any separation of the outer or in portions of the bellows from the stiffeners. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this camera. I will answer all inquiries to the best of my knowledge.

As with all antique photographic equipment I am selling this item As Is and it is not returnable nor is it refundable. 

This item will be well and carefully packaged for shipment and will be insured for the full purchase price minus shipping costs.
