Climax Compact Camera
Climax Camera

Date Introduced: - ; Years Manufactured: c. 1884- c. 1897
Construction: no swing or double swing;
Materials:
Sizes Offered: 6.5x8.5; 8x10; 10x12; 11x14; 14x17; 17x20, 18x22
Notes: Climax was also a name Anthony used for studio cameras - hence the Compact Climax name for a camera having a folding bed, but otherwise the same as the studio version. This would make for a robust, but incredibly heavy camera to lug around.  This model  also appears to be identical to Anthony's earlier model View and Portrait Boxes.
