Don't miss your chance to own a piece of photographic history. I'm unsure which Rüdenberg camera this is due to the lack of documentation online but from what I could find, it appears to be manufactured between 1903 and 1920. This camera has been tested for its ability to fire the shutter. The camera's shutter sometimes sticks and doesn't completely fire. A portion of the lens aperture blades are stuck and let light through to the bellows (photo #15). The condition of the bellows seem to be functional. While inspecting the camera I couldn't find any light leaks through the bellows but there could always be pinholes. The focusing slider is stiff but could be lubricated. The listing photos are in lieu of a cosmetic condition. check the photos for details on cosmetic condition. *This is an incredibly rare camera and may not function as intended due to it's age. This camera is sold as-is* Thanks for looking and message me with any questions
