Verascope Richard
An early model of the Verascope Richard 3D camera from France. While it appears to work, there are a couple problems, one is the availability of glass slides, the other is that the back is missing the slide holders. The camera has twin Anast Zeiss II 55mm lenses.
The camera is shown here with a viewer and three boxes of glass slides.
I'm currently trying to find out more information on the camera, and especially if anyone has managed to manufacture any sort of film holders for cut film.
This appears to have been a very popular camera with several models from 1900 or earlier through the 1930's. Yet any hard details on it seem to be hard to come by.
Special thanks to Edward M. and Zane H.
