SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

#12977.  Paramount Sales Company Enlarger  Paramount Photographic Products, Boston, Mass., c. 1930's(?). Quite an unusual black cardboard sliding box-in-a-box simple glass lens enlarger. Measures 15x5x4". Cover on back removes; I can't quite figure how it works, unless you replace the back with a glass negative, then slide focus and shine a light through the negative. In EX condition and, being made of cardboard (with glass lens), very fragile. Two paper identification labels. $150.00

#9713.  Stirn Concealed Vest Camera  c. 1888; C.P. Stirn Co., New York. Circular metal camera taking six images on a circular glass plate. Nickel finish. Shutter not working properly, fair amount of "tarnish" on body. No dents or dings. An extremely rare camera, and worthy of whatever restoration is required.  $1750.00

#30812.  Bolsey C Twin Lens Reflex Camera  Bolsey Corp. of America, c. 1956. 35mm TLR camera; 44mm f/3.2 Wollensak lens, Wollensak shutter. Split-image rangefinder focusing, as well as waist-level viewing. Minuscule wear, generally EX, and a nice addition to any collection. With original case.  $95.00

#31162.  Crystar HIT-type Camera  Subminiature; as new in original box (box separated on one edge). Shutter intermittent. No case.  $30.00

#25503.  Replica of the Original Kodak Camera of 1888  Produced in limited quantity (2500) by Kodak, Ltd of England in 1988, this is an EXACT (non-working) replica of the Original Kodak box rollfilm camera. Camera bears an embossed serial number, and comes with a booklet on the Centenary History of the Kodak, and a fascimile "Kodak Manual" that accompanied the original camera. As new, original packaging. A historic piece itself, and undiscernable from the original in any collection. $595.00

#31211.  Kodak Instamatic Reflex Camera  Taking the 126 cartridge film, this camera featured coupled metering (working), with a 50mm f/1.9 Xenon interchangeable lens. This example is fully operational, with a barely noticeable "ding" in the front lens rim. Takes flashcubes. With slightly worn original case.  $40.00

#30814.  No. 1 Panoram Kodak, Model D  Serial #17620; takes 2-1/4x7" exposures on (originally) 105 film. Can also be used with 620 or 120 film (put 120 film on 620 spool to avoid binding). Minor scuffing of leather (no missing pieces); shutter needs repair or adjustment. BUT this camera has a 90mm f/6.8 Goerz Dagor III lens on it, never listed in Kodak catalog. Few cameras were offered by Goerz America with this lens. Restorable to a superb example; quite scarce. $700.00

#24542.  Minox B Camera, Black Finish  An EX++ condition black-finish Minox B camera; no marks. Also includes black-finish AG-1 flashgun, black measuring chain. Original leather cases for both pieces, original instruction manual for camera, original Minox plastic case, and slightly worn original Minox box. Superb collectible, quite scarce.  $750.00

#20267.  Nikon N8008S Camera Body  EX+ condition. No lens, no body cap.  $450.00

#15228.  Churchie's "Official Spy Camera"  Simple black plastic 127-size camera, promo from Church's Fried Chicken restaurants. Undated, but at least from the 1980's and maybe late 1970's. Boxed as new in decorative box. Instructions printed on back of box.  $20.00

#7488.  Newport 110 Camera, 1988  Original all-green 110 cartridge camera, advertising Newport cigarettes. Orange lettering. Still sealed on blister pack. Nice collectible.  $10.00

#22147.  Pentacon Prakti Camera, 1960  A moderately compact 35mm camera with built-in battery powered motor drive. With Meyer Domiton 40mm lens. This example, while appearing as new (except for box wear), has corroded parts in the battery compartment, and probably doesn't work. Camera comes in its original, slightly worn, display box. No instructions. Great shelf item, and somewhat scarce.  $70.00

#25135.  Ricoh 500 35mm Rangefinder Camera  with 4.5cm f/2.8 Ricomat lens. 35mm rangefinder camera, film advance lever on bottom; left-handed advance. Overall EX condition; shutter ever so slightly sluggish from lack of use. No marks, no dings. Seikosha-SLV shutter.  $65.00

#13997.  Baby Rollei 4x4cm Camera, c. 1957  Gray baby Rollei; seems to be in EX operating condition; but one side panel of leatherette missing; other leather loose. With original soiled hard case.  $150.00

#15257.  Super Reflex Camera  Super Reflex Camera Co., Chicago, c. 1920's. A Graflex-styled reflex camera, 3-1/4x4-1/4" format. Not listed in McKeown. Wollensak Velostigmat lens. Seems to have a rather ingenious shutter mechanism that does not involve a focal plane shutter. Shutter does work, but not properly; name embossed on hood--exterior leather peeling badly and hood has lots of cracks. No focusing back panel. Restorable? Quite scarce. $125.00

#25141.  Voigtlander Bessamatic Camera  35mm single lens reflex, with coupled metering system. With Color-Skopar 50mm f/2.8 lens, Synchro-Compur shutter. Looks EX-EX+. Meter appears to be working properly; shutter seems ok on higher speeds; sluggish on speeds 1/15th and slower. Lot of cloudiness inside prism finder.  $125.00

#22902.  Zeiss Super Ikonta B Camera, 532/16  Probably c. 1948; this example has the black enamelled lens and shutter housing, and features an 80mm f/2.8 Zeiss-Opton-Tessar lens in the Compur-Rapid shutter; with flash synch. EX appearing condition. Shutter working well; focusing is stiff, but working. Some tiny piece seems to be rattling around in the rangefinder housing. With most of original case. Nice addition to a collection. $275.00

#23949.  Zenit 3M SLR Camera, with 500mm f/8 MTO Mirror Lens  An interesting package; includes the camera, with 50mm f/3.5 lens. Mint condition, with cap, case, original box.

Includes four screw-over filters, original instructions (in Russian). Lens and accessories in original fitted wooden case. Near-mint condition overall. $495.00

Lenses

Each of the four matched brass lens tubes is about 5-inch focal length. All tubes are heavily tarnished on the outside, and one is missing a lens element; still superb for display. Mounting plate shows wear. A much sought-after and rare item in photographic collecting.  $595.00

#26138.  Antique Brass "Gem" Brass Lens  Designed for use in a nine- or twelve-lens camera, c. 1860's, this brass lens has a focal length of approximately four inches. Physically, it is 2-1/4" long, 1-1/4" diameter, and embossed with the number "7". Threaded at one end to be fitted into a lensboard. Needs cleaning, but glass is basically good; barrel tarnished. I have a limited number of these available, at a per each price of $75.00

Lens serial numbers are five digits apart. Protars were offered as lenses with the Stereo Graphic; lensboard dimensions are minutely off from catalog-listed size for either camera. An extremely rare lens set for one of two extremely rare cameras. EX. $495.00

Projection and Viewing

#24721.  Airequipt Slide Stacker  Original equipment for most Airequipt slide projectors. Allows use of a stack of slides, instead of having to put them in those metal trays. Little tarnished from age, but appears to be be unused, in original box.  $30.00
