I bought this earlier and can not find for the life of me who it is by, or if it is even worth anything. I am not an antique collector but i love photography and at 1st i though it was an old camera and for 5 dollars i didn't want to pass this up. If any one has an info on this it will be wonderful.
the cord looks like it has been re-adapted for out let, and also there is a missing screw, the lens looks to have been replaced and also the wood in which the slide is placed has been broken.
on the wood piece that was i believe meant for the slide there is the name CHAS.I.NEWTON (new york)
the lens says Nicholas power company incorporated new york on one side, and the other Spencer buffalo NY.
