Up for sale is a genuine antique replacement bellows for vintage folding cameras, historically matching US and British models utilizing the quarter-plate format. This item features a beautiful maroon red leather exterior trim on the lens standard panel and a matte black anti-reflective interior structure designed to minimize light bounce inside the camera chamber. The front standard frame features a built-in circular cutout for a brass lens or shutter assembly and includes the original metal retention loop hook on the lower edge for rail locking. The bellows provides a maximum functional extension of approximately 14 to 14.5 cm (about 5.5 inches), which perfectly matches standard focal length lenses for this format. This is a rare find for historical camera restorations, custom camera builds, or field kit maintenance of American classics.

Condition
This item is in used vintage condition with visible signs of old master repairs and glue reinforcement along the edges, frames, and seams, which is typical for authentic field-used equipment of this era. Crucially, the bellows has been thoroughly tested and is verified to be light-tight, holding back all light leaks under a light test. The structural pleats and corners remain intact and the bellows extends smoothly to its maximum length. Please review all provided photos to evaluate the condition and signs of historical wear before purchasing.
