This is for David or anyone else who would find this camera useful. I have an 
Eastman View Camera No. 2, 7 X 11 in. format.  This camera is ca. 1920.  
Richard Knoppow found an ad for it in the 1919 American Annual of 
Photograqphy.  It was well-used and shows it.  The bellows is all there, but 
is separated from the camera on 2 sides.  There is no back, but this should 
not be a problem for this group.  All the hardware seems to be there.  The 
opening on the back looks like it would accomodate 8 X 10.  The bellows draw 
is 15-18 in.  

The back of the sliding lens board is stamped "7 X 11 Eastman View."  The 
bottom of the camera is stamped 136158.

The price is $50, which would be a great deal just for the hardware and rack 
& pinion.  It weighs about 10#, so I'll charge $20 for boxing & shipping.  I 
have photos of it, which I will scan & send to anyone interested.

I also have a 5 X 7 Gundlach enlarger, vintage 1920s I think, which is in 
great condition including double-glass negative holder.  Lots of beautiful w
ood.  I don't have the original bulb or the baseboard, if it had one.  I do 
have the original vertical stand & bolts which attaches to a baseboard.  I 
can't recall if there is a lensboard, and it's stashed away.  If anyone is 
interested, I can dig it out and take photos.  I would like $90 for this rare 
item.
