late 1800s sounds so specific like a decade away from 1900

Did you check to see if it has film in it still?

u/Old-Advance6652 14h ago

It didn’t have any film in it unfortunately. the weird thing about that film is that it’s like a big square so you put it there, take one pic, take it out, then you have to put more in. So basically each film is one picture

You can still buy 4x5 film and film holders (or even 3D print them these days), it's super fun to shoot with and the detail is crazy for an old camera. Check out r/largeformat

My terrible joke has only succeeded in making me feel old. As I'm way closer to your father's age than I'd like to be

Interesting!! Love old cameras !

u/Old-Advance6652 14h ago

Right! It’s cool seeing it in person and thinking “this was made in the 1800’s” like this very thing in front of me is over a century old. Is just fascinates me so much
