Clifton, Long Focus View Camera

Anthony & Scovill Catalog 1903, p. 59

8x10

Date Introduced: - ; Years Manufactured: c.1901-1904
Construction: front focus via rack and pinion (two gear tracks on top of base rails) and rear focus via push-pull; double swing; reverse by removable back; three-piece lensboard
Materials: mahogany body; cherry base track; black fabric bellows; brass hardware
Sizes Offered: 6½x8½; 8x10
Notes: You might think that the Long Focus Clifton would be a Clifton with an extra extension to the base, but you would be wrong.  This camera has completely different rear hardware than the shorter Clifton.  The front is the same, however.  A rather specialized, expensive camera that was made for a relatively short time period, so it may be expected to be rare.
