I have a 4x5 spring back for a Gandolfi half-plate camera which is stamped L Gandolfi so it was, I assume, made before 1928. Can anyone tell me when makers such as Gandolfi started making spring backs so that I may date it more precisely? Thanks.

I'd recommend an intimate Italian dinner at home.
Light some beeswax candles.
Some Dean Martin or Francis Albert Sinatra on the stereo.
A bottle of chilled Prosecco.
No, wait. What??
Never mind

A photo of the back (not the dinner) might help. L
Unfortunately I cannot upload images to this site at the moment - I'm suspecting that its an issue to do with Safari.
Have you tried a different browser? I haven't used Safari in years, use TenFourFox or Google Chrome. LOriginally Posted by pgk
Gandolfi was the first camera company to make surveillance cameras for airplanes in WW 1. They were made in England until the 1990s and a bit. I have had a 5x7 for almost 30 years using lenses from 75mm to 480mm (600 mm tel) . Too bad they closed after making cameras for over 100 years.
Perhaps you missed the Gandolfi history CD's, posted on this forum
I have one somewhere, but they have copyright
Seek them
