Thornton Pickard Imperial Triple Extension (4 3/4 × 6 1/2) plate camera from the 1900s.
1/2 Plate Mahogany & Brass camera by Thornton Pickard of Altrincham, Cheshire UK.
This rare, beautiful, mahogany camera is in remarkably good condition.
Dimensions when folded: H 21 cm, W 21 cm D 6 cm approx (without the shutter & lens).
The camera has standard horizontal sliding movements and a vertical front swing.
Bellows are in good condition, I can’t see any light leaks.
The Beck lens is in fine condition for its age. Aperture blades f:8 to f:64 working well.
The Thornton Pickard double roller blind shutter mechanism functions.
Wood finish is in good condition and I haven’t found any damaged areas.
All controls are in working condition, rack & pinions are smooth with no problems.
The leather carrying handle is strong, I’ve used it a lot.
The viewing glass is in good condition but may have been replaced in the past. The hinges work fine.
A beautiful masterpiece of craftsmanship and quality.
Still a superbly engineered camera, expensive in its day and great value now.
Additionally includes an original tripod.
Sorry the items look a little dusty in pictures, been on display previously.
They will be cleaned before shipping.
