Here is a very rare Rochester Optical & Camera Co. While they are common to find in 4x5 or 5x7 sizes it is very rare to find on in the largest 8x10 size.
The camera makes an amazing display piece with a really nice mahogany interior. The brass lens is original. The Unicum shutter works well. The slow speeds might be a little fast.
The camera has a removable rotating back. The ground glass back is intact.
The outer leather covering is in very good shape showing some wear. When the camera is closed there are two push buttons to open it and you have to push hard on the right side button to release the front bed. A real special camera perfect for anyones collection. Check out my other auctions for more antique plate cameras and early brass lenses.
