I've only ever even seen one of these behemoth cameras at a Carleton Watkins display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. This is an original Folmer & Schwing & Crown lens board for one of those beasts if you have one. It measures 11X11 inches and has rails on the verso to slide in a giant Packard pneumatic shutter. The lens opening for a flange is 6 1/2". That would be correct for a 25" f3.8 Voigtlaender Petzval of the 1880's or so.
I was even a ...bit surprised. I took it right upstairs to put on my Century #8 11X14 Studio Camera and it was an inch to big! It appears it may have never yet been used! There are no tell tale holes from a previous flange. How's that for New-Old-Stock.
Not sure what E. R. & C. on the back side indicate. Eastman, Rochester & Century? If you have this knowledge take the time to message me right here on Ebay, I'd love to know.
If you have one of these cameras, you won't fuss about my price. Just push Buy It Now
