With due respect, you will have to post more information for anyone to take this seriously!
Using your email address as your pseudonym raises doubts too.

If it's a Deardorff, I'll buy it, if the price is right...

Well City Sales & Exchange were English as well, based in Cheapside, London, they merged with Wallace & Heaton, which was later bought by Dixons, theyb still sell cameras :D

They used the name sales & Exchange later Salex on their cameras.

I didn't pick up the "Sales and Exchange" clue! C S & E were very big in their time. Couldn't be a Deardorff but perhaps a Gandolfi. Seriously, most makers had a 10x12 as standard offerings.
Remember the price of 10x12" film!

Their 12X10's were most often the tailboard type still made by Watsons up until the early 1960's also made in much smaller numbers by Gandolfi

A bunch of those 10X12 Indian cameras hit Ebay about the same time a few years ago. They're pretty rough. If it's a Deardorff, perhaps $8500 if it's one of those Indian ones worn to pieces with a paper bellows, perhaps $85. Was that helpful? :rolleyes:

Jim, City Sales & Exchange never sold Indian cameras :D

Make sure it comes with film holders. Lots of film holders.
