Here is an extremely rare 4×5 folding plate camera made by the American Camera Co. The camera has many distinct features that were different from other folding cameras from that time including the sliding back door to expose the ground glass. Blair spent alot of time in England and the camera looks to have been influenced by English cameras of the time. The camera is in wonderful condition and really makes a beautiful display piece. Check out my other auctions for many other vintage plate cameras and brass lenses. Powered by SixBit’s eCommerce Solution.

Very Good Original Condition. Very Rare Beautiful 9x12cm (4×5) Merkel Minerva Tropical with brass holders. Beautiful 9x12cm (4×5) Merkel Minerva Tropical with 6 Brass film holders & 3 metal tin? Holders Very rare See photos below. Some fading on brass plating. The Merkel brand was founded in 1900 by Ferdinand Merkel, in Tharandt, Germany. At the end of the 1930s, he built this tropical Minerva Camera. It is beautifully made, combining brass, precious wood and Havana-colored leather. It seems that the Minerva is the tropicalized version of the Merkel Tak, because there are very many similarities with the colonial Merkel Tak.
