The camera above is a Premo B 5x7 1893-1899
The restoration work included manufacture and installation of the bellows and view finder.Repairs to the structure and fittings.
I replaced the shutter assembly with a suitable one |

A while since we've seen one of your jobs on here... Bigger pics would be nice, but it looks as though you've done a good job from a very unpromising wreck. Have you considered a career in plastic surgery? ;-) |

Nice, I have one of those cameras and I sent the lens to flcamerarepair to get the shutter going again. Leather is peeling off. viewfinder mirror is corrupt. I intend to use it with glass plates. Some plate holders fit.
