Please read this carefully!!! Serial number 56846. This dates from 1915 or 1916. You get a R. B. Auto Graflex. This camera is 3 1/4" x 4 1/4". The lens is a Bausch & Lomb 5x7 f/4.5 Tessar Ic. Serial number 3216106. (I cannot quite make out the first number, but I think it is a 3). The buyer pays shipping. Regards, Darryl Here are the details. The camera does work. The bellows are in excellent condition. The focus rails (there are 2) both operate smoothly. The viewing hood and ground glass are both in good condition. The focus is very easy to see. The shutter material is supple. The lens glass looks quite nice. I see no fungus, separation or scratches. Of course this is uncoated. The diaphragm operates smoothly. I will include 1 cut film holder. The leather has some minor wear, but is basically intact. I will list the problems I can see below. The leather strap rear holder on the body is broken. The shutter works through the full range, but sometimes you need to move the winding key a little to get it to fire. The cut film holder has only 1 slide. The front door latch locking mechanism has a broken tab that would keep the door completely closed. I do not think the lens board originally came with the camera, but it looks OK. Some buyers are just very picky so I am trying to give you a good picture of this camera. Please remember
