Description: Here's a bit of an unknown camera--- definitely an Antique and probably a Rare camera from the 1880's or 1890's. I can't find a name on it anywhere other than a label inside that says Chicago Camera Co. But it looks like other's I've seen that are designated as a Western Camera Co. --- a type of Cyclone. It shoots glass plates of roughly 4 x 5 inch size--- but I think some of the internal parts inside are missing. There is a tray of sorts, that is home-made from a cigar box--- to hold plates? It's fairly big--- about 8 x 6 x 7. That's all I can tell you. Functionally, the main shutter button pushes, but not much happens. Other things move but I know nothing about the operation of it. The exterior condition is very good---- the leather covering has moderate wear, some scuffing, but is mostly complete and the handle is complete as well. It has not been tested for proper operation because I don't know how, so no guarantees on it's usability, but it's in Good collectible condition---- INCOMPLETE, but nice shape for about 120 Years Old! What you see is what you'll get--- the actual items for sale are pictured... please examine the photos. Continental US Shipping will be $12.50. It will be packed well and safe. International Shipping via the ebay program. PLEASE READ THIS--- By Bidding you Agree that: I am not Amazon or a professional Camera Store seller--- just a pragmatic collector/shooter selling some Used items. I'm not here trying to rip anybody off or sneak one past you, but that said... I'm not into having things go back and forth based on opinion, or risk "part swapping." So I'm sorry, I can't sell item on Approval, it's being sold As Is, No Warranty, No Buyer's Remorse, No Returns, being sold As Is with noted and the possibly of unknown flaws. I've been a photographer for 40+ years and I know how many cameras work, but I can't "Bench Test" every thing to factory specs and unless it's Brand New... I can't guarantee that every single aspect may be Perfect... especially in a 100+ year old item! Any significant defects that I know of are either pictured or described to the best of my knowledge. I try to be detailed and truthful but I can't describe every every inch of it, so there may be a nick or blemish or a few specs of dust that I failed to mention... but they would hardly diminish it... unless you expect everything to be 100% Perfection. What you see is what you'll get and I package my items well, so it arrives in the same condition as shown. SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE Interesting Items---- I'll be selling a large portion of my camera collection over the next few months, so check back and/or tell me what you're looking for. If you have questions about this or other items or combined shipping or other discounts---- please ask... Let's make a deal. Thanks
