| Beautiful wood & brass stereoscopic field camera by Meagher, London circa 1880’s. The bellows are square cut maroon leather in excellent condition.

The internal septum is present and one plate holder is included in the lot. There are minor signs of use (grade 4), overall very good to excellent condition. | $ 1,700 | |
