ITEM: This is an unusual piece. It is an early Al-Vista Panoramic camera made by the Multiscope and Film Co. The patent date is 1901 and there an ink stamp date of 1906 on an inside label. Not sure of the full working condition nor completeness, BUT, when you turn the key on the bottom, the lens does run to take a panoramic picture. Also, when I opened the compartment, there was a box with several winding "fans" according to the label, and what look to be apertures. Also, there is a box of Kodak Verichrome V104 file that is dated 1948. The camera is sold for parts or restoration. See pictures and ask questions.
