Improved Seneca view
Build between 1904 and 1925. I think this one wwas build between 1904 and 1910. It has a (serial?)number (72) that is stamped on the main body and the extension rail. This is a 5X7 camera and includes also the original (at least it's made of the same wood, has the same finish and the same ornaments as the 5X7 back) 4X5 back.
The camera is beautifully ebonized and has a nice "patine". On some places the ebony finish has a patern of cracks like the frame of an old painting. It doesn't look worn out though. I just llove the camera.
In these pictures I mounted a Rapid Rectilinear from B&L in a Kodak ballbearing shutter. It covers 5X7. Lovely little lens.
For anybody who has more info on this camera, please enlight me ;-)
