Schultze Photo Equipment Co., New York, NY

NPA Camera (made by E.&H.T. Anthony)

Date Introduced: - ; Years Manufactured: c. 1890
Construction: back focus via push-pull; single swing; reversing by means of a second tripod mount; plywood lensboard
Materials: mahogany wood body; cherry base; black fabric bellows; brass hardware
Sizes Offered: 6.5x8.5 (above)
Notes: This New York City company advertised Scovill cameras in its catalogs, but also produced (or had made for it) its own design Champion camera, and apparently also put its label on Anthony cameras, such as this N.P.A.  Other than the Schultze label it is identical to the N.P.A. Variation 2, even to the original Anthony case.  It appears as if the Anthony label has left holes only partially covered by the Schultze label.  This is one of at least two such Schultze/Anthony cameras known.
