4×5 View Camera, as Sculpture Display, Iconic Look with Chrome, Wood, Circa 1950

For your consideration is this, circa 1950s. Grover 4×5 view, sheet film camera.

Famously used for commercial and advertising still photography in the 1950s and 1960s. Very original. Very early model prior to patent being issued. Not in shooting ready condition as offered but a gorgeous and complete display sculpture piece for home or office.

Astounding Red leather bellows, shiny well patinated chromed brass frame, rear ‘viewing glass’ intact, repro wood lens board, vintage heavy duty impressive 50s Hollywood wood tripod and mounting hardware included. Great colors and texture.

The display potential of this camera as sculpture is second to none. Camera was All American Made, in Chicago, with manual tribute German Lens. Shown as found, with decades of grime intact, but if buyer wishes, we can detail and polish the package so it mostly glistens. Done as a courtesy and at no extra charge. Offered as a wonderful display artifact for home or office or for a collection. Spot Light it nicely and you have an impressive center piece sculpture for any room. A true unique and vintage photographic artifact.
