This camera has not been tested and is missing parts, so it is being sold as is for parts, repair, restoration or display only. Both the lens and the shutter are missing. It is possible that there are other smaller pieces missing as well, so please inspect the pictures carefully to verify the condition. The unit measures approximately 15 ½ inches long by 9 inches wide by 11 ½ inches tall when the bellows are fully extended. The unit is moderately dirty and dusty throughout from years... of storage and could use a good cleaning. The exterior shows moderate surface scratching, scuffing, general wear and finish wear throughout from age and use. The scratching, scuffing and wear are particularly heavy on the wood frame where the lens would have been installed and on the bottom throughout. The interior bellows are moderately dirty throughout and show moderate surface scratching, scuffing and wear throughout from age and use. The bellows show many areas of denting and bending throughout, mostly on the center section of the top throughout and along the exterior sides, corners and edges throughout. Many of the metal casting pieces throughout the exterior show moderate to heavy surface scratching, scuffing, tarnishing, general wear and plating wear throughout. Some also show moderate surface rusting throughout, mainly on the top. The glass plate on the rear of the interior has some areas of flaking and chipping along the exterior edges throughout. The metal plate on the interior below where the front lens would have been installed shows heavy surface pitting and rusting throughout, especially along the lower half throughout. As noted previously, I am unsure if there are other parts missing in addition to the lens and shutter, so please inspect the pictures carefully to verify the condition.
