\"The Sanderson\"\"
Camera
for
\"Hunter, Sands & Co\"

This is I believe, a \"Houghton\" \"The Sanderson\" camera retailed by \"Sands, Hunter & Co. \", it is in \"as found\" condition and has not been repaired or restored.

I can\'t find any holes or splits to the tapered black leather bellows, however, there are the usual scuffs, marks and fading to the creases and corners that you would expect.

The ground glass plate measures 4 1/4 by 3 1/4 , I believe this is 1/4 plate size.

There are no major splits or cracks to the mahogany that I can find, however, there are the usual scuffs, marks and scratches that you would associate with a well used camera of this age.

The leather handle to the top is well attached. 

All of the brass work appears to be present and in working order,  however, there is a missing knob to the front which holds the lens board in place. There are also bends toi both of the curved side struts. The brass has retained much of its\' original lacquering.

The camera extends and folds away as it should, I have tried to show this in the photographs.

There is an applied ivorine plaque to the front which reads \"The Sanderson, K. Ltd., London\" and one to the side with \"Sands, Hunter & Co., 37, Bedford St., Strand, W.C.\".
