19th century camera wanted for a movie prop

[Sandeha Lynch]

Does anyone in the UK have a late 19th century wooden 1/2 or 1/4 plate camera they could loan out for a few days for a movie shoot. I'll be the actor so it will be under my guard the entire time. Doesn't have to be in working condition, just needs to look the part.

Royal Mail Special Delivery paid both ways, obviously. I'm in south Wales, the shoot will be near Bath. Needed mid-March.

Thanks

Have you tried approaching the Royal Photographic Society, they are based in Bath and may be able to help. They used to have a museum open to the public, but since the move from 'The Octagon' in central Bath this has been closed.

I know of them John, but it had not occurred to me. I'll check. Thanks.

Solution sorted, so the thread can gradually die away in peace.

My thanks to all readers.
