  • Modification Description: Artist custom work with Smoked Oak Wood veneer outside finish
  • Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
  • Custom Bundle: No
  • Condition: ONE-OF-A-KIND 123-year-old Antique Custom Adlake (Adams & Westlake) Regular c. 1898, Manual plate changing camera with a new Smoked Oak veneer covering. Although it looks like a magazine camera, it holds up to 12 steel plateholders inside the top door compartment behind the focal plane (8 plateholders are included). These plateholders are manually inserted into a slot behind the focal plane and the top door is closed. The lever on the side of the camera under the handle opens the front of the plateholder for exposure. Made in 3 ¼ʺ x 4 ¼ʺ and 4ʺ x 5ʺ sizes, this camera uses the larger 4ʺ x 5ʺ size plates. This the earliest version of the ‘Regular’ since the brass viewfinder surrounds are not embossed with the Adams and Westlake name, and the plate opening lever does not have the brass escutcheon nor the recessed ‘T’ & ‘I’ escutcheons like later models, and has a more reliable and operable shutter than later models. Customized with a Smoked Oak veneer covering and polished hardware...
