FOLMER & SCHWING 54" WOOD TRIPOD EARLY 1903 CROWN No 1 ORIGINAL FINISH DATED

Description

This dated 1903 wooden tripod appears to be gently unused or barely used in excellent cosmetic condition minus the tarnish of the brass. This
is a great antique vintage Wooden & Brass Transit Level Tripod Stand. Because of its height of 54" inches we are not sure if it was for a camera  or transit. It is marked on the brass fittings " Folmer & Schwing " which we believed was made for or by the Eastman Kodak Co. Rochester, N.Y.. On the lower fittings teo of them are stamped 1903 on them. It is stamped on the brass fittings on the legs.
Everything work, turns, and slides on it as it should.
The overall height in closed position with legs together is approx. 29-1/2" inches tall. Overall height with legs extended and together is 54" inches. No surprises with this one. This one would make a great lamp.
