\"Strelitz Bros. \"

1/2 Plate

Tailboard Camera.

This unusual \"Strelitz Bros.\" tailboard camera is in \"as found\" condition and has not been restored or repaired.

The camera has an applied plaque to the front with \"Manufactured in Germany for Strelitz Bros., Fremantel & Perth\". 

There are no major splits to the black leather bellows, however, the corners and creases have faded a little over the years.
The glass plate measures 4 3/4 inches by 6 1/2 inches, I believe this is 1/2 plate sizes.

The mahogany body is free from any major splits or cracks, however, it does have the scuffs and scratches you would expect from an item of this age.

The rest of the brass work appears to be complete without any damage, the camera extends smoothly when the handle at the rear is turned and all of the other slides, hinges work well and the camera  folds down as it should. I have tried to show this in the photographs.

The camera has no lens. 

 This camera requires some TLC to bring it back to its\' full glory and it would grace any collection.
