RAY MODEL NO. 1 4x5 CAMERA: Slide camera manufactured between 1894 and 1899 by Ray Camera Company out of Rochester, NY, the home of Eastman-Kodak. This is a very small example of a large format 4x5 camera, and comes equipped with a Bausch & Lomb wide-angle lens of unknown focal length, f/8 aperture. Camera comes in original leather box with 4 film pack adapters.

Leather exterior of camera is in good over-all condition, with a few small tears/missing pieces near the edge of the folding door. There are some chips to the lacquered wood. The camera is in great vintage condition. Mechanically functions, however timing and accuracy of shutter not examined. I believe the shutter timer is friction based, and could be repaired with an adjustment of the screw holding the shutter timer together. Optics contain some light dust particles, no fungus/haze. Fantastic looking display piece. One of the slide holders is cracked (pictured). Please call for more details.
