I purchased just a few parts of a very old camera. I have remade much of the back and the front focusing track. The lens is a Rodenstock Imagon 250mm it isn't as old as the camera I'm not sure when it was made it could be 60 years old.
The camera is the Blair Tourograph whole plate ( 6 1/2 X 81/2") made in about 1890 by Thomas Blair. In 1899 the company was sold to George Eastman and became the Blair Camera Division of Eastman Kodak Company.
The Now I wonder how many pictures it would have taken over the years.
