Folmer & Schwing Commercial View 8x10 Camera w/Ross London 20" f6 Brass lens

Beautiful Condition, Vintage, for the collector Folmer & Schwing (EKC) Commercial View 8x10 Camera w/Ross London 20" f6 Brass lens 1915 - 1923Front and rear focus via rack and pinion (two gear tracks on sides of base rails); reversing by removable back; three-piece lens boardMahogany body; cherry base; black fabric bellows; brass hardware A gorgeous camera, made robust for heavy and constant use. It is essentially a studio camera of the era which happens to have a folding base. A bellows prop is present to support the long-draw (42") bellows. It is prettier from afar than close up. The finish appears to be a one-coat orange varnish-stain, the brass is not highly polished or lacquered and the wood is not smoothly finished, and the 1923 catalog states that the brass has a matte finish. Rare in this clean condition, all functions are tested and still in great working condition, great clean lens, smooth and malleable bellows (seems light-tight), smooth controls and tight locks. The wood is in very clean condition, well preserved - the brassing is all there - intact - original. The lens looks like a great piece of glass - clean, no haze or mold. Clean ground glass as well!

A gorgeous camera, made robust for heavy and constant use.  It is essentially a studio camera of the era which happens to have a folding base.  A bellows prop is present to support the long-draw (42") bellows.  It is prettier from afar than close up.  The finish appears to be a one-coat orange varnish-stain, the brass is not highly polished or lacquered and the wood is not smoothly finished, and the 1923 catalog states that the brass has a matte finish.

Rare in this clean condition, all functions are tested and still in great working condition, great clean lens, smooth and malleable bellows (seems light-tight), smooth controls and tight locks.  The wood is in very clean condition, well preserved - the brassing is all there - intact - original.  The lens looks like a great piece of glass - clean, no haze or mold.  Clean ground glass as well!
