Check back for posting of
these cameras.
Henry Clay Jr
Centennial Camera
Knock-Down Camera
The American • the Midget Pocket Camera's detective case and tripod
Herzog • American sliding-box wet-plate • ambrotype and callotype • etc.
Early catalogues • advertising-promotion cards • uncut multi-image tintypes • Pearsall
An unexpected acquisition! I never thought it would happen and didn't think of including the
camera on my "Most Wanted" list. This month one of two known 1914 Wing prototype 4x5
multiplying cameras made by Harvey (Simon Wing's son) found its way into the collection.
These two examples were never marketed and are believed to be the last cameras made by
the legendary Wing family.
And Sooner or later I'll get these cameras posted:
• Rochester Optical Midget Pocket Camera
• Palmer & Longking daguerrian camera
• Frank Pearsall's 1883 Compact Camera
• Anthony Climax Multiplying Camera (c1898)
• Anthony 4x5 Victor with rare EA combination lens
• Multiscope Al-Vista 5F convertable camera (the complete outfit!)
