You are bidding on a very nice long focus cycle wizard camera by Manhattan optical. This was probably made in the 1890s. It has a rapid rectilinear Bausch and Lomb lens with a wizard senior shutter. It comes with a 4 x 5 plate holder.

As you see from the pictures, it also has a reversible back. Bellows are in good condition.

I have not tested this camera for defects or to determine if it is working condition.

I collect and display cameras around the house, but don’t actually use them. Therefore, this camera is being sold untested and as is.

Very shortly, I will post two other antique turn-of-the-century folding plate camera auctions. One for another wizard, and one for a Conley. Please check out my other auctions.

No reserve. Best of luck bidding.
