    Boxes and crates for pre-1900 cameras are very hard to find. Only a few of my cameras have their original canvas cases and boxes.

    This wooden box came with a Blair Reversible Back Camera acquired years ago. Its relatively small size makes me believe it held accessories instead of a small camera.

      Great box. Really nice item. I'd be all over this if it crossed my path. It's got it all. Clean and well built, subect matter and it's from Boston. Couldn't be cooler. Love it.

      Thanks, cratedigger! And I appreciate getting feedback from someone who understands these. FWIW ... it also has the same printing on the other side.
