[W&B] Thornton-Pickard?

[MMagid3005 at aol.com]

Hello all, I've been on this list for a few weeks and this is my first 
posting.   I have enjoyed the coffee thread though I must confess I love Starbucks, 
the stronger the better, with Half cream, and the plumbing information might 
prove to be useful as I have a leaky faucet and am facing doing-it-myself or 
waiting until we redecorate, or for Godot.

My collection is eclectic, it contains what interested me at the time, and I 
still love them all, especially the several wood & brass cameras.   One I've 
had for a long time is a 3-1/4 X 4-1/4 field camera (though it may be metric 
dimensions) with very beautiful wood and matching film holders and film pack 
adapter that have that kind of dark slide made of attached slats that bend -- 
there's a name for that which I can never remember.   I've always thought the 
camera was Japanese, but I recently saw a photo of a Thornton-Pickard that looked 
much like my camera.   Mine has no ID or numbers on it, and based on some 
small holes in it there are pieces of hardware missing.  The shutter that was on 
it when I bought it is a cannibalization from a Kodak folder -- what a 
mismatch, though I love some of those Autographics in my collection and have also 
done my share of stealing from an ICA to provide for something else.   I wondered 
if this list has a site that I can post a photo to, and someone may know 
exactly what it is.

I'm looking forward to the Continuing Education that W & B is providing.
