All natural. I've had this camera for many years. It keeps getting better patina with age.
I also have the extra rear rail attachment, just not pictured.

Very cool. Based on the size of car seats and uniforms from that era, I think many adults were your kid's size back when the camera was common!
Here's my camera and gear getting wet with snow recently.

My 1887 model Lancaster & Son Instantograph. It says 1887 model, but for certain characteristics it looks like produced c.1890. Sadly I still have no lens that could work with this camera, one lacks Waterhouse stops, and the other two are much larger than the flange (so I need a new lens board and a new, larger, flange!).

Brand spanking new Chamonix H1 with 5x7 back. I don't work with 5x7 often but this set up is just too damn sexy!
Hi Valdomar, I could not resist after looking at your Korona and I got mine. Here it is after I did all the CLA:

That's very lovely, the 'Korona' that is - you did good work
