I post this for educational purposes only. I'm not sure anybody on this list can afford it, I know I can't!

This is doubly rare first as a stereo camera, second as the label reads Folmer & Schwing, Rochester NY with no mention of George Eastman and Co.

This camera is in great shape too, and that in itself is most remarkable! Interesting note in "Paine" about the baffle being removable, so that the camera could be a std 5x7! Often wondered how the film was viewed in these cameras, have never seen a 5x7 'Viewer', or projector for that purpose....and since there was a baffle, the film would have 2 images!!! Any experience on that Les?? Bert

While I don't have any direct experience I would assume you would end up with two images about 3.25 x 5? vertically.

Now I haven't seen even an ad for an F&S or even B&L stereo viewer as such but would assume they would work in the stereoptigon viewer made popular by Underwood and Underwood. those images were rounded at the top about 3.35 square, and the image was mounted on curved heavy cardstock.
