We're supposed to post photos?
An old large format camera that came into my possession some years ago. I can't find a maker's name on it but the darkslides are marked W.Allen, Maidenhead.
It is nicely constructed from mahogany and brass but needs some restoration. For example, the baseboard has a big split in it that has been crudely 'repaired' by screwing a sheet of plywood over it.
I can find no information on it but I suspect it was made 1895 - 1905 (ish).
There are about six double darkslides with it, constructed of mahogany and brass, individually numbered with inset ivory markers. Designed to take glass plates 6.5" x 8.5".
One day I'll restore it...
