American Press Cameras

American press cameras in action to cover the youngest American History from building the skyscrapers in the gilded age. the bootlegging days in the thirties to the presidential elections
in the sixties, from the Suffragettes in the twenties to the Korean war in the fifties.
  To deal with rough street work and the hard circumstances at the theatres of war in Europe and Asia
all these American press cameras were build heavy and solid. Nowadays they are still sought by collectors as well as by photographers
who still love to work with these awfully good looking and reliable cameras.
