Rochester Optical Co. (assumed)
Weller Wing Shutter - c. 1891-c.1903
Illustrated Catalogue of Photographic Apparatus,
Rochester Optical Co., (Rochester, NY), dated May 1891, ~6"x9", p.23
Notes: The
Weller Wing Shutter was apparently only advertised in Rochester Optical
Co. catalogs, which implies that either Rochester Optical Co.
manufactured it, or had an exclusive contract with the actual
manufacturer. The two large shutter leaves and associated hardware
are entirely encased between two sheets of very thin mahogany. The
shutter bears no markings, nor has an applicable patent been found by a
person named Weller - likely not patented.
