    Old Graflex 8x10 with Stand

    I have had this camera for many years but have never used it. I used a Deardorff 5x7 for a long time. It was used in the Bureau of Mines in Alaska for copy work. It has been in a attic for 35 years and it shows.

    It can rotate to any angle

    The camera may vary, but focus was by distance on the long stand

    I have seen pictures only

    Some turned into dining tables

    I have saved another copy camera from becomeing a coffee tab
    I am now inspired to fit up 14X17 DDS on the one I have
