That's the smell of my new camera. It reminds me of some great grandma's bedroom cupboards - lace and old leather. A scent I haven't come across since I was a kid.
It's a whole plate brass and mahogany double draw folder, with front rise and fall, front tilt both ways, rear tilt both ways and rear swing. Made by Gerard & Co of South St, London. Landscape or portrait, it can take lenses from 100mm to 600mm. The springback and DDS are UK Kodak.

It's in for a complete refurb.
Anybody have a reference to Gerard's and the camera's possible age?
