Description from the seller
Vintage Ernemann boxcamera with pneumatic release – ca. 1910–1925
Description:
Offered: an authentic early box camera from the German brand Ernemann, produced before the formation of Zeiss Ikon (1926).
This classic camera is a fine example of the simple yet robust amateur photography of the early 20th century. The design is characteristic: a rectangular box with leather covering, two view openings for portrait and landscape use, and a simple lens with a mechanical shutter.
What makes this specimen special is the available pneumatic release (bulb release), with which the shutter could be operated remotely — a nice and decorative detail that has not always been preserved.
Features:
Type: Box camera
Brand: Ernemann (Germany)
Production period: ca. 1910–1925
Lens: simple meniscus lens
Shutter: mechanical, hand-operated
Viewfinder: 2x (portrait/landscape use)
Includes: pneumatic release
Condition:
Vintage condition with clear signs of use
Wear to the covering (see photos, including top corner)
Mechanical operation not tested with film
Sold as a collectible / decorative item
Special notes:
A wonderful collectible that reflects the early history of photography. Ideal for collectors of antique cameras or as a decorative piece.
Shipping:
Carefully packed and securely shipped.
