Rochester Optical 4 1/4 x 6 1/2 New Model View Camera with Darlot Brass Lens

Here is a very attractive Rochester Optical Co. New Model wooden view camera.

It is in the seldom found 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" size so is perfect for display being a little bigger then 4x5 but not as big as the 5x7. The camera looks great and is made of high quality cherry. The camera has had a few repairs done to it. The lens is a Darlot Paris No.

The glass is clean and clear and in excellent shape. The lens is slotted for waterhouse stops but does not come with any. It does have its lenscap. The bellows are in very nice shape but do have some pinhole leaks when I checked them with a flashlight. The camera comes with two original plate holders.

The plate holders are probably rarer then the camera as they are the 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" size. The dark slides pull out.

One dark slide has a small hole in it but it could be patched. It all comes in its original wooden Rochester Optical Co. If you are a collector of ROC cameras or American early cameras in general this is a great one to add to your collection.
