GUNDLACH-MANHATTAN OPTICAL CO. KORONA PICTORIAL VIEW CAMERA, natural-finish wood body and hardware with some silver-toned knobs/trim and components and black leather bellows and strap, stationary spring back accepting 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" film currently with ground glass focus panel, equipped with a C.P. Goerz f: 4.8 16 1/2cm lens in a Compur shutter, marked to front with Korona branding and to top with "Eastman Kodak Stores / INCORPORATED / LOS ANGELES". Early 20th century. 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" x 7 1/2" closed.
Condition
Very good visual condition with less than average wear to body and cases, mostly some cosmetic scratching and dulling to metal surfaces; cameras' mechanical parts each appear to operate relatively smoothly except the bellows seems very dry and too stuck to test fully; rail and standard adjustments and shutter both seem to operate quite well, camera has not been tested for functionality (see Catalogue Guarantee).
