New Model Camera, Variation 4

Date Introduced: - ; Years Manufactured: c.1890's
Construction: back focus via push-pull; single swing; three-piece lensboard; non-reversing; ground glass frame hinges down
Materials: cherry body; cherry bed; black fabric bellows; nickeled hardware; varnish finish
Sizes Offered: 3.25x4.25; 4x5; 4.25x6.5; 5x7; 5x8; 6.5-8.5; 8x10 (photos)
Notes: a very inexpensive, and, therefore, long-lived model.   It co-existed for many years with the very similar New Model Improved.  The illustrated camera is 8x10.  This variation differs in that there are two ground glass clips of a simpler design than earlier ROC spring clips, and the brass hardware.
