I can add nothing to 'the caption competition'.........................................

but can say that the camera is a Vageeswari, which were manufactured by Vageeswari Camera Works in India and if anyone is interested, they crop up fs on ebay on a monthly basis or so - ebay seller 'photolud' has an interest in restoring them

note - I have no personal or financial connection to said 'photolud'

Thank goodness someone has had the good idea to start a forum on this... There are some of us large format users out there who stilll like to dabble with the dangerous chemicals instead of only using film

[Andrew Plume]

and endorsed by me too Lucy, even though I've yet to cross over to the wet stuff........................
