1954 Graflex Crown Graphic, 4X5 camera.

1954 Graflex Crown Graphic, 4X5 camera.
I've got my Graflex posed on my Great Grandmother's plant stand. This depression era plant stand was sold as a kit so that people with little money could have nice furniture. The legs look like turned wood, but are really Grandma's old empty thread spools stacked on the metal rods of the plant stand kit.

Both the camera and the table are amazing treasures.

It's looks like a period photo! Nice composing all the elements together like this. Being from poor relatives myself, I've heard of legs being made out of old thread spools. Both my mother and her mother sewed a lot of clothes and other items and in fact, my grandmother's old Singer treadle sewing machine is stored in my bedroom, ready to go back to work if needed.

Nicely done Norm. You have presented this well. Vintage cameras are interesting and I agree old things just feel easy to be around, giving us a link to those who came before us. :)

Thanks Christine! :-) I've yet to get the flash to communicate with this camera and I didn't think about putting it on the camera, but I should have for the photo.

Thanks Sanna! Those are magazine ads. I collect Pontiac ads, and ads with Myrna Loy in them.
