CHARLES CHEVALIER PHOTOGRAPHE A VERRES COMBINES ANTIQUE DAGUERREOTYPE LENS

Description

Offered for your consideration is an early Charles Chevalier brass barrel lens, the "Photographe a verres Combines". There are a few very light cleaning marks. Glass is surprisingly clean and clear. This is really a very nice lens. The individual lenses inside are signed Chevalier. The side of the barrel is marked PAYSAGES in one spot and PORTRAITS in another. The sliding cap/shutter does not appear to be original. It came with the lens and I mounted it using modern screws but it does look nice on the lens. Mounting ring is not present. Lens is almost 4 1/2" long and 4" across at the base. The roll of film is for size reference only and is not included. Please look at the photos carefully. They are part of the description.
