Links don't work for me, but then I probably don't know what kind of camera it is either.

Re: Huge Wooden Camera - R. R. Robertson of Chicago
    Robertson made stat cameras but this could be restored to be a lovely old portrait camera. The back looks like it takes available 11X14 film holders. Everything is crooked and you can see wood pulled apart at the lower dovetail indicating something fell on it some time or it was dropped. The Graf lens is an oddity but not valuable. It seems to be a graf copy of the more common Goerz Artar. The stand looks to be an Ansco. Getting the stand with the camera is a BIG plus. The bellows are home made and sort of laughable but perhaps light tight. Looks like they made them out of curtain rods and the old couch cover.

Re: Huge Wooden Camera - R. R. Robertson of Chicago
With patience you could restore this camera to a working studio camera for shure.
Just get it into your home ! New bellows, maybe a diferent lens........ Shipping would be the main issue I guess. How much is the seller asking for it with everything ? Peter |
