| Description |
English: The Kilburn Gun Camera was invented by Benjamin W. Kilburn to take pictures among the White Mountains and was manufactured by Scovill Mfg. Co. from approximately 1882 to 1886. It consisted of a small camera mounted on a gun-stock and provided with sights and triggers. The camera was constructed of mahogany with a cherry base, a black fabric bellows and brass lacquered hardware. Rear focus adjustment was accomplished by way of a rack and pinion or manual pull. Was available in 4x5 size only. Priced in 1883 at $27 for the outfit or $5 for the gun-stock. |
