Rare c1877 Ross Mahogany & Brass 12x12" Wet Plate Tailboard CameraFor sale Rare c1877 Ross Mahogany & Brass 12x12" Wet Plate Tailboard Camera. This camera is a beauty from my personal collection and hard to find. The two ivory labels are marked- "ROSS LONDON" and "SOLD BY MORLEY & COOPER -70- UPPER STREET LONDON" see pics above.Camera comes with hand cranking focusing, rear tilt, front rise and cross front movements. The bellows is the red squar...e cut type red leather bellows, it extends to 15 inches. There are two bigger leaks with few pinhole leaks on the bellows. This Camera is possibly the only 12x12 inches wet plate Ross camera known to exist today. Due to limited number of photos allowed per listing we are not able to show an original c1879 newspaper "The Graphic", which shows a similar Wet Plate Camera used in the Afghan war. If interested we can send the scans on request. The paper will be included in the packing.Camera is 140 years old , and is in remarkably good condition with exception to normal signs of use consistent with age and handling. The crank focusing is smooth, opening and closing of the Camera is also smooth. Great historical collector's camera.Terms of SaleFREE International Shipping: by DHL/Aramex/EMS Courier.DHL/ Aramex/EMS Couriers are sometimes instructed to collect duty/taxes by the customs agencies mostly of few European and Asian countries, please note we cannot help about this as it is beyond our control.
