Blair Camera Co. Boston 5x7 Reversible Back Camera with Darlot Brass Lens

Here is an excellent example of a early Blair Camera Co. The camera is a 5x7 size camera and is made of a very nice mahogany. All the movements work fine and the camera moves easily on its track.

The camera has its front extension piece. The bellows are original and in very nice shape.

I checked them with a flashlight and did see a few pinhole leaks but nothing that could not be repaired if one wanted to use the camera. It does look like there is a repaired crack on the top left side of the rear standard.

It comes with a very nice No. 2 Darlot Hemispherique Rapide brass lens. The camera makes an excellent display piece and with a little work could still be used. It does not come with any film holders.
