    Description

    Complete 3 lens Speed Graphic outfit. No. 901391. I believe to be a late 40's Pacemaker.
    This is like a time capsule. A look into the tool box of late 40's photographer Claxton Searle.
    Schneider Kreuznach tele Xenar 30cm f/1:5.5 (minor ding on filter thread)
    Eastman Kodak 127mm f/1:4.7 Ektar with Compur shutter. Works
    Wollensak Raptar 90mm f/1:6.6 wide angle with Rapax shutter. Works.
    3 m bags apparently do not fit or match with this camera and are NOT INCLUDED
    This set was previously owned by father Manfred Kallweit, owner of Pardee's Cameras in Sacramento CA. Closed 2015. Likely a purchase or trade in some 20 years ago. Has been stored in a dry enviroment since then. Origianlly owned by photographer Claxton Searle. I've researched but could not find much info about him. A very cool property plaque with his San Francisco studio address.
