Houghton Ensign Cameo
3 1/4 X 4 1/4 plate camera. Made in England in late 20's-30's.These were a camera made to a price, and consequently not a lot of them have survived. Wooden, leather covered body, with medium lens and shutter. This one looks great for display, and folds and unfolds reasonable easily, and the bellows are good.the locking mechanism to hold the lens standard in place when the camera is open still works............................ It comes with a Primus Rapid Aplanat lens in a Lukos I TBI shutter.The shutter works. The leather covering on the wooden body is complete and in good nick. The camera still has its ground glass back, but no viewing hood or dark slides. The carry strap/handle is also still there and not broken, but I would not carry the camera by it alone today! The round metal ID insert on the side of the camera is also still there. As you can see from the main pic, this is a great display peice if you want an "old" camera. It also a good Houghtons Ensign collectible. But it is definitely not a goer without some work........................................... Now the things you need to know. The leather covering the "hidden" release button is worn through. The viewing lens in the viewfinder is not original. Some of the screws in the basebarod and holding the lens and shutter on are not original either. However it is still a great looking peice, and just what we think of as a "old" camera.
