Description
Black hard-sided travel case with a hinged lid, handle, and carry strap. Metal caps on all the corners and reinforcing along all the edges. Three clasps on the lid, the centre one has a keyhole, no key. The handle on the lid may have been compressed paper or leather, but has been wrapped in black electrical tape so only the original metal loops and brackets remain. The carry strap attaches to both short sides with metal clips and is made of brown leather - the strap has a buckle that is undone so the two halves hang separately at the sides. Throughout the exterior are various travel stickers and labels, mostly torn.The interior of the case is lined with black paper and the bulk of the body is comprised of a particleboard insert separated into three compartments that sits on braces near the bottom, creating a hidden compartment underneath.Contents of the box include various camera accessories and equipment, as well as a collection of manuals for various film exposures. Includes a light reflector in a white bag with blue edges, a flash mount in a handmade red bag and the flash mount’s cords in a different dark red velvet bag (also in that bag are two extended triggers), a “Rolleflex” lens in a brown leather pouch inside a purple Crown Royal bag, eight manuals in a white “Canadian National Hotels” bag, two different sized yellow filters in clear plastic cases, and in a square cardboard box are two screws, a grey cable, a square lens and a 250 mm focuser, and a lens block.

Hard-sided black travel case with a hinged lid used to carry a folding Deardolff camera and its accessories. The case has metal caps on all the corners and reinforcing along all edges, there are also wooden runners along the bottom. On both short sides are metal loops attached to the box with short leather bits that most likely were for a strap, missing.

Various colourful travel labels and stickers are visible throughout the exterior, mostly faded and torn. The interior of the main body of the case is lined with red velvet and is divided into four compartments. One compartment has braces to hold up a small wooden box insert.The camera is a Deardorff 5x7 wooden camera that folds open to show leather bellows at least 31cm long. Also in the case are 13 separate plastic “Lisco Regal 5x7 Cut Film Holders,” a green plastic folder that may have been for a pocket calendar (“1970 DEUTSCHE ZENTRALE” is stamped in gold on the front) filled with various lens and exposures manuals, two yellow “Kodak WRATTEN FILTER” boxes - one has a red filter and the other has two pale filters - and in a wooden box is a small circular magnifying glass that folds out of a blue leather sleeve on a long black cord, a typed “PACKSACK CHECKLIST 5x7” mounted on paper in a plastic sleeve, and a small rectangular mirror in a blue plastic sleeve. There is also a narrow rectangular box with a small leather tab at the top.
