American collapsible camera in the form of a pocket watch. The front and rear of the "watch" open. The front of the camera extends forward with a 7-section metal tube. A wooden film holder attaches to the back. There are only three known examples of this camera known to exist. Our consultants have closely examined all three, and this camera, no.1011, is for sure the best known example. The camera itself is in nearly perfect condition. It also includes two double film-holders, two boxes of original films, an original cloth pouch and the original box. Each of the film holders also has a wooden cap to cover the opening not being used - ex collection Jim McKeown
