Ross TLR, for those who can't afford a Gowland

Found this and forgot to post it a week or so ago...

Very interesting/weird/ugly TLR

[Sevo]

Uh, a mouldy, nude camera with bits of plywood and (decomposing) fiberboard on it - which weren't even invented until after its supposed date of production. That thing has at the very least been repaired with inappropriate materials before it was pushed into some damp attic. Besides, it does not look at all like the very boxy late 19th century Ross TLRs I've seen, but much more like my 1912 Ross SLR would look with a makeshift wooden box wrapped around it. Maybe a SLR which was later (though not very recently) DIY hacked into a TLR?

No idea, that's why I stated it was interesting (never seen one like it), weird (lots of modifications), and ugly (nothing looks to the 'Ross' standard).

And that chimney looks decidedly Graflexian.
