Hi.
I stumbled across your site when researching a old camera from my grandfather.
I havenīt had any luck yet identifying it (and i spent hours), maybe you could help me..?
Itīs a wooden camera (mahogny i guess) and the only mark on it is a white sing (ivory) engraved
" Swift & Son "
81 Tottenham Court rd
LONDON
I know Swift & son are known for their microscopes but canīt find any camera references.
The best lead i have is the lens, engraved " No 3255 Swifton & Son, Rapid 5x4 Paragon" and stamped with a bell with a bird and Trademark.
I got some pictures of it, please make contact if you would be so kind to help me along in this search.
It is really annoying not be able to find any info at all :)
