- A folding wooden camera with gold metal features. When folded the main body of the camera lens is set into the centre of the wooden frame surrounded by a circular opening with a metal circle that is able to twist [where the tripod would attach]. The camera opens from a hinge to fold out, releasing the black bellows, the front with the camera lens is on hinges that allow the camera lens to be propped up from the front frame that protected it. There are hinges to secure the position of the lens, there is also knobs and gears to operate the camera and a fibre cord with a metal ring attached to the bottom of the lens. On the base of the frame (which protects the lens when folded), features knobs that can twist to extend the length of the bellows, this part of the frame is inlaid in the base. On the back of the camera is another frame with a glass insert that is held in place with a clasp and on hinges. Along the side of this part of the camera are knobs on hinges to support when the bellows are extended further and inlaid is a white circle label which reads “THE Sandringham REG.” in brown text.
