"Patent June 14, 1910" (1914?)
and Canemah Studio, a member of Flickr, says in the description of his camera's photo:
"It was manufactured with a collaboration between the Houghton Ltd. of London and Gennert company of New York in the early 1900's, probably between 1911-1915. It's a very uncommon camera and information on this particular model has been difficult to find. The attention to detail is fantastic and the workmanship of British cameras is quite remarkable and beautiful."
A brief history about Houghtons in pre-WW1 era:
Haughtons dates back to 1814 as a glass seller. Then they began to distribute the Daguerreotype requzites. After 1904 the firm produced a vast range of cameras and absorbed some small camera makers. From 1900 until around 1909, a large number of Houghtons' cameras were German imports, primarily Dr.Krugener.
There are many similarities between this camera and some Dr.Krugener models. So, it could be that my camera is a kind of copy of Krugeners.

Only one house is seen on Pacific Terrace in this post card photo showing Klamath Falls as seen from near the top of Esplanade Avenue, which is seen trailing off the right edge of the image. This photo was taken sometime after water was first turned into the A Canal in 1907, and sometime before the Southern Pacific Railroad arrived in 1909. Look closely to see cages protecting newly planted trees along streets in the Hot Springs subdivision.
Greetings from Anna Maria Island, FL! We were nervous that the sunset was going to be a bust but the sky gods delivered a stunner!
Anna Maria Island | Florida | Gulf of Mexico
Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback.
The outlet of Link River into Lake Ewauna is seen in this post card photo. The steamer Klamath is docked at the wharf seen through the left side of the bridge. Since the Klamath sailed on Lake Ewauna from 1905 to 1909, an approximate date is known for this photo. The Lakeside Inn is seen at far left, and at right is a two-story home that stood about where the Favell Museum is today. Stukel Mountain is seen on the horizon.
I made these cloth post cards for a swap that I am hosting with the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group.

"Argyle Street, Port Alberni, Vancouver Island, B.C."
Post Card. Printed from a Real Photograph for B. O. Mills, Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island, B.C.
Made in England.
Looking east up Argyle Street from the 5300-block towards the intersection at Kingsway Avenue in Port Alberni, BC on Vancouver Island.
West Side Public School was built in 1910 on a hill overlooking Link River and Klamath Falls. It would later become known as Riverside Elementary. The school was built on land donated by Rufus Moore – one of the two brothers who also donated land that became Moore Park. A story is told that Moore had intended for the school to be built at the bottom of the hill, near Lake Ewauna. Only after construction was underway did it become widely known the school was being built high on the hill. The site gave the school impressive views from its large windows, but made access difficult for students and teachers alike – particularly in winter months. Riverside Elementary School closed in 2003, and is currently idle.

This is a Strathmore post card. I did spray it with some fixative which I hope will protect it from rain and sweaty hands of postal carriers....Sending it to a friend who can report back.

These are more elaborate art work processed with Photoshop beyond merely adjusting the picture elements. There may be textures or other elements added to the picture, therefore not, basically, a processed negative. Test shots with some Kodak 2238. These are ISO 20 shot with canon eos 10QD and a Vivitar Auto Wide 21mm T4 lens in M42 mount. Working on a faster developer XR-1 to boost the speed to ISO 80. These were just some fun scans and post goofing.

Early day Klamath Falls residents built a gazebo beside the hot springs that were located about a mile north of Klamath Falls. Over the years the town grew, eventually surrounding the hot springs. A development company offered free space for a new county courthouse near the springs, and even promised to provide hot water for heating the building. The building was partially completed, but was never occupied. Klamath Union High School's football field is now located about where these springs once flowed.
