You should all be proud of the free appraisal you gave him, so that he can make the most money off of it. But you did get a thanks, that's unusual.

LOL, the thanks *is* unusual--at least he didn't ask 'how much is this worth?" We obviously get a stream of these "one and done" posters and they're not hard to spot, but sometimes the exchanges lead to good information. There were tons of English half-plate cameras made and the information is fairly arcane, so I'm not sure he'll be raking in the big bucks.
Maybe someone wants the camera :)
There's disinformation, Lonsdale did sell parts and camera kits but were based in London, there's no circular lens boards in their catalogue and that is not a common feature. Vevers were based in Leeds and also sold parts.
