Description

Neat ¼ plate camera in good condition, with maroon bellows. Identified from McKeown - there is no name on the camera itself other than 'Century'. According to McKeown [1], the No 2 is the original design of the Petite Century.

The CCC symbol over the lens is worn. Note the plate size, suggesting that this was made for the European market.
