Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:879655 | Brand: Bausch + Lomb |
DESCRIPTION
FOR SALE:This is from a very large camera estate in western PA that has been sitting unused in storage for many years. Note: I am not a photographer, collector nor expert. I am selling estate items. I am not able to assess condition in any professional manner. This item is being sold AS IS and may need cleaning and restoration to be used. Sold for parts or restoration. PLEASE ask any questions important to your satisfaction BEF...ORE bidding.
ITEM: This is an antique Bausch and Lomb shutter and lens assembly. It is brass with two pistons. It measures about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. There is a front and back lens that screw off. The glass of each lens is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. The part of the shutter that the front assembly screws onto reads 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 Alvan G Clark, The brass of the back lens has threads that screw on to a mount that is on a piece of wood that is about 4 by 6 1/4 inches. The dial at the top reads Bausch & Lomb Opt Co Pat Jan 6, 1891. Rochester, NY New York City. There is a lever with settings I and B. Not sure how this works fully , but if I push the knob on the dial to the left, it "cocks" and then if I lift the left piston, the shutter slowly opens and closes. On T, it just opens. Looks like it is very slow. The glass on front and back is hazy and needs cleaning. I have no idea if it is complete. I'm selling for parts or restoration. Since I do not know the working condition or the completeness, please bid accordingly. I do not accept returns because you feel you overpaid, or it can only be used for parts. Please see pictures and ask any questions important to your satisfaction.
