    Looking good, a little stain and it will become authentic!

    I have OE 5X7, 8X10, 11X14 and 10x12 SC11 backs. I may convert that one to hold OE Deardorff 8X10 slider, which fits only horizontally on a V11, but can be made to work vertically on SC11, yielding 2 8x5 captures very quickly.

    One of these years...

    This stuff is so much fun. I thank the Almighty I have this stuff to play with, especially in these times. I make lists every night of projects I have to work on. Sometimes I have trouble getting to sleep because I can't so scheming.

    I've got the 5x7 slider with the insert that fits on a 8x10. I still haven’t used it, what can I say the price was right

    Hello, I'm new to this site.

    I have a Deardorff Studio Commercial 11X14 camera in my possession and I am looking for advice on the best method to try and sell this item. We are actively working to obtain the original papers that will provide insight into the ownership of the camera when it was first acquired. It is our understanding that this unit was used by the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier in the 1940's.

    We have discussed with some local camera shops but they obviously don't have the knowledge of devices this old. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Mike

    It's against site rules for us to give appraisals. These are wonderful cameras, but they're very big, bulky and heavy. Few people have the space for them. Check completed listings on Ebay.

    Looks normal to me

    Does it have any US Gov or Navy markings? Look everywhere.

    They usually came with 3 bellows, this has 1 which limits the usage

    Some of us have WWII Books of instructions for almost all cameras they used.

    I will have to study

    Where is it located?

    How tall is from floor to post tops?

    Are there any more GG backs for it.

    Any known history?

    Which Carrier?

    All clues are needed

    Peter I already told OP that we don't appraise, he sent me a PM and I sent OP back to open posting
