Old wooden large format (5x7") camera.
I got this old camera by inheritance for a long time. It isn't sure that it is of some antiquarian value, but nevertheless it is quite interesting artifact.
Feature is that the former owner remade this camera under a format of glass photoplates of a format 4x6" a little.
Probably, for saving reasons, and perhaps in the USSR at that moment format 5x7" plates weren't on sale.
In the late eighties and the middle of the 1990th years glass photoplates could be met on sale and I even managed to shoot and experiment a little. I could print from these plates only contactly, on as there was no suitable magnifying apparat of a big format. Photos, unfortunately, didn't remain because of my continuous moving.
Now I plan to expose this camera on ebay, the truth I don't even imagine its price. I hope that she will take the worthy place in someone's collection, but I am confused that it nevertheless is a little changed with use of textolite which doesn't match an era of the beginning of the Twentieth century in any way.
