5X7 ROCHESTER OPTICAL UNIVERSAL VIEW CAMERA

DESCRIPTION:  This is the 5x7 size of the second version of the Universal view camera by Rochester Optical Company – available for 1893 to 1904.  Mahogany English-style compact field camera with rack & pinon front bed focusing.  The camera was available in approximately 10 different sizes from 4x5 to 17x20.  The original camera was promoted based upon having a reversible back and compact folded size.  The second version of this camera added double swing back capability.  This camera is for display only unless you can address the scattered pinholes in the bellows.  Prior owner cut the circular hole in the base - possibly to allow the camera to be closed with the lens and lens board still affixed.
