    Description

    1882 Antique Studio Wet Plate Camera Restoration Project
    Wooden (Walnut ?) frame very well made still in very good condition. no cracks or brakes, Maker unknown, name plate was removed. Bellows needs to be replace, original still attached. The back was removed and would have to be rebuilt.  One plan was to replace the bellows and put a small digital camera inside.  This definitely was a Wet Plate camera as evidenced by the Silver Nitrate blackening on back bottom Film plate rail.
    I purchased the camera carcass in Holland in 1988, the owner said it was from around the 1880's which would fit the wet plate time frame
