French Vintage Pontiac Bakelite MFAP Folding Camera 1938 Parts/Repair
Item History & Price
Here is a nice 1938-1941 Pontiac Folding Camera. Its in need of a little work but has some really nice attributes. The bellows did not have any light leakage. Carry strap is intact, red gel for film number intact.The bakelite case is beautiful brown with red highlights with no cracks chips. It has a scrape on the edge of the opening where the bellows folds in. (check photo).It is missing a metal clip so the hook on the cover has nothing to grab on to and will not close completely. The ...lens is nice. Its a Berthiot Special 105/4.5. Lens. The MFAP shutter works some of he time. The glass is fine, Aperture works, rollers work film advance knob works. The brillant viewfinder is cloudy, age related. A little work and this looks operable and or a great display piece. Please review the photos and reach out with any questions. Thanks.
