BRÜCKNER 13x18 wooden camera full set Zeiss Schneider Steinheil

BRÜCKNER 13X18 WOODEN CAMERA FULL SET ZEISS SCHNEIDER STEINHEIL

Very well made beautiful wooden camera 13x18 5x7 ny Alfred Brückner Germany, recognizable by the SOLID in the flagg.

We cannot tell exactly what model, could be Filed Camera (1910-1920) or Union Modell 3 (around 1920).

In any case, beautiful condition for a min 100 year old camera, also bellows looks solid and very well.

With screen and, what's really difficult to find: 2 original wooden cassettes.

Furthermore included:

Wooden lens board with hole diameter 50m, Wooden front plate with aperture unit, Schneider Xenar 4,5/24 cm No. 286371 on matching wooden plate, datable to 1928 !

Zeiss Jena Tessar 4,5/25 cm No. 355172 with matching screw-on ring in the correct size, datable to 1919

And the BEST:

A VERY VERY early Steinheil brass lens.

With matching screw-on ring in the same size, engraved "Aplanat 23 lin".

The lens ITSELF engraved with "Steinheil in München No. 5552 patent", plus possibly hand-engraved with "f-37cm".

This lens datable to 1871 !!

Unfortunately, the Steinheil front lens element has a rupture sideways, see pictures. It should be worth it, to have an identical simple front lens made by a lens maker.

Apart from the Steinheil, all items seem to be in beautiful and fully functional condition. Nevertheless observe, that we offer this fine set as PURE COLLECTOR'S item, so NO guarantee or return !!!

If you want to put the set to use, a possible overhauling, lubricating, checking of bellows, WHATEVER, is in the buyer's responsibility.
