Here is a very rare Watson & Sons Vril 4x5 strut folding camera. The camera is so rare I could not even find a picture of one on the internet. I am selling the camera "as-is" as a display piece only as it does have issues. The lens is a W. Watson & Sons London 5 1/2 Inch Holostigmat Series I f6.5 lens. The focus and diaphragm work fine. The glass is clean showing some wear. The camera displays great showing its age. The leather looks okay and the strap is intact. The ground glass back... is intact. The main issue is the shutter which does not work. I see the curtain in it but it does not look like the top and bottom curtains are still connected. The little label that went above the lens is missing. A great camera for ones collection. Check out my other auctions for more vintage cameras and lenses. I can combine shipping on multiple purchases. Buyer pays shipping and the shipping quote includes insurance.
