Seneca Camera Manufacturing Co., Rochester, NY

Seneca View Camera, Improved, Variation 2
 

8x10

Date Introduced:  ; Years Manufactured: c.1910
Construction: back and front focus via rack and pinion (two gear tracks on top of the base rails); double swing; reversing by removable back; 
Materials:  mahogany body, polished nickeled brass hardware, cherry base, lacquer finish
Sizes Offered: at least 8x10;
Notes: There seem to be no engravings in catalogs to match the above camera, but the model is identified by its celluloid tag on the front.  Otherwise it is identical to the Camera City View, Variation 3 (except that the example of the Camera City View, Variation 3 has a quick release lever for the back), so is assigned the same c.1910 time period.
