Description: For sale is a fascinating RARE early Vario Camera from the estate of a local collector who amassed 500+ vintage cameras, dozens of which I will be listing. This Gauthier Folding Bellows Format Box Camera has a Steinheil Munchen anastigmat Actinar 1:4.5 lens. The lens carriage slides out nicely, the black bellows is in pretty good condition, and the cover latches as it should. The back plate cover slides out and latches as it should. I have made no attempt to clean anything aside from using a super soft brush for interior dust and a damp cloth for exterior surface dust. As an amateur, I did not want to damage anything in an attempt to clean the lens. The exterior skin is in good overall condition with spots of edge wear. The exterior condition looks good, but I do not know how to assess the working condition, so I am selling this AS IS for the buyer to assess, clean and repair, as necessary. Given my limited knowledge, I have not attempted to assess the lens condition, but I welcome questions, and I will respond as quickly and accurately as I can. The pictures provide the best sense of condition, so please review those closely. This will be packaged carefully with significant cushioned padding, and the shipping weight is 4 pounds. NOTE: This may require signature confirmation upon receipt. Please ask questions before bidding so that I can insure you know exactly what you are bidding on. Because I offer multiple pictures and detailed descriptions and prompt reply to questions, I do not offer a standing refund option. However, if I made a mistake (I am human), or you have a concern, please contact me, and I will do everything reasonably possible to make it right, and my feedback reflects that. I want both us to come out winners here. You can expect the items I sell to be smoke-free, unless I specifically state otherwise. At your request, I will be happy to create a combined shipping invoice on multiple purchases, subject to size/weight restrictions or any other eBay policy limitations. However, eBay's Global Shipping Program may limit combined shipping for international buyers. Also, I am not ever able to provide international returns. As of 2019, many U.S. states have begun to require that eBay sellers charge sales tax on purchases made from residents of their state. If your state requires a sales tax payment, that tax payment will show up on your invoice for final payment. I'm sorry about this added cost, but it is a requirement of your state and not a cent goes to me. Payment for purchases are expected within 3 days of auction end. Have fun.
