Well, apparently 2-out-of-2 Sinclair viewers have cases.

Mine has completely internal movements and focusing, you're looking at the

I'd guess early 1900s, but I know very little about the UK makers . . .
who's our UK/Sinclair expert?

Eric, I think you have the Channing & Dunn book.  Does it list addresses and
dates?
