The camera was manufactured by Joshua Billcliff in Manchester, England and is signed on the camera bed and both of the repeating backs. The smaller back measures 16 x 5 (excluding the mount) and takes 6 cartes de visite, each measuring approximately 1 1/2 by 1 3/4. The larger back measures 16 x 6 and takes 4 cartes de visite measuring 2 1/4 x 1 3/4.Condition is good, and the camera is original throughout, including the red leather bellows, the wood finish, and the lens and the leather lens cover. Both backs are original, as well, including their ground glass focusing plates. Camera body, camera bellows and repeating backs exhibit normal artifacts of age and use, but no signs of abuse or neglect. No missing hardware, and the brass clips on the backs are still functional.When you’ve finished checking out my ebay listings this week, take a look at my TechnoGallerie website, where you can buy hard-to-find antique phonographs, antique radios, antique cameras and other antique gadgets you’re not likely to see anywhere else.
