Classic Cameras

 

Raylo Color Camera w/3” f3.5 Goerz Hypar- Very rare American tri color camera ca. 1925.  Serial number 143.  Clockwork motor times the three color separation negatives. Took 4.5x8cm plates.  This example is missing some parts.  There is a circular surround on the front which has been removed.  The shutter release mechanism is missing the trim, but can still be used.  One knob on the side is also missing.  This is only the second example of this camera we have seen in more than 30 years.  McKeown’s price guide lists the value at $2000-3000.  Comes in wooden box which may or may not be original.  [9082]

Copper finish Block Notes w/75mm f9 Carl Zeiss Protar- Incredibly rare version of Block Note.  I had never heard of one in copper nor one with Protar lens until I saw this one.  It is guaranteed factory original and comes with original Protar lens.  Most of the copper finish has worn away, but what is left shows what a magnificent camera this must have been when it was new.  Working well.  Comes with 4.5x6cm magazine back and four holders.  No groundglass back.  [9056]
