CAUTION:
I'm as green as they come to this subject.
I have an antique Folmer & Schwing camera that allegedly is circa 1925.
I am attaching photographs of the camera set up for initial viewing--I will be taking more, better pictures and posting them within a day or two.
QUESTION:
Does anyone know much about this camera?
All the research I attempted didn't produce much.
Any information would be great and your time is most certainly appreciated!~
The images can be viewed from the links below:
The following right-side-view image shows how the clips that suspend the accordion have come loose because the leather is so old--thus not suspending the accordion (for the lack of a word to describe it).
