I want to thank all our loyal customers. But I am sorry the time has come for me to close down Craig Camera and will do something more fitting to preserve my husband‘s memory in the field of photographic history. Instead, I will finally fulfill my commitment to those in the Daguerreian Society, and those who collect American daguerreotypes and will finish the third edition of Craig’s Daguerreian Registry.

For your instruction manual needs kindly contact our friends and colleagues at http://www.oldtimercameras.com/craigcamera/

If you are interested in purchasing the entire instruction manual and branded literature I am offering it for $125,000. You can contact me at craigcamera@outlook.com. 

I will be taking down the website by the end of March
