At last, something a little out of the ordinary!
English auction room to-day. Mixed sale with some non-LF photography items.
A home built apparatus with a long mahogany base. Including a largish photographic Petzval. It is, in fact a Dallmeyer patent (first design) Petzval. The size can be worked out (to some extent!) from only dimension given - the length of the base - at 93cm.
My measuring before the auction gave a figure which suggest a 3B, 3A or the equivalent sized D series - perhaps even a 4B! I stopped at £360 so it went for 638 usd (including fees etc.) to probably someone who will read these lines!
Not convinced this is a patent Dallmeyer?
