VINTAGE early aerial camera, military green. I believe it is missing the lens attachment. Not a whole lot of information out there on this particular model but pretty sure is was made in the late 20’s early 30’s and used on planes to take photographs. Seems to work ok as you crank the handle and the window opens and takes the picture. There is also a built in counter that records how many pics are taken. A really cool awesome camera and would make a nice display piece. Please see all pics for more detail, size and condition. The last 2 pictures are of similar design so you can see how these big cameras were used. The co destruction is made of brass, steel and wood. Please don’t hesitate to make offer as I have no idea how much something like this is worth.
