LARGE HAND MADE VERY EARLY BOX CAMERA

THIS IS A VERY EARLY , PROBABLY EARLY 1900'S OR EARLIER BOX CAMERA THAT DID NOT USE FILM , BUT PLATES. IT WAS MADE BY OR SUPPLIED BY P.J PETERSEN AND COMPANY CORNER OF PLEIN AND ADDERLY STREETS CAPE TOWN.THE WORKMANSHIP IS SUPERB WITH BRASS CATCHES AND FITTINGS AND VARIOUS COMPARTMENTS AND DOORS THAT OPEN.
