  See !!!   This is why I only collect lenses that from known makers that are properly engraved . . . except for the ones that aren't or aren't . . . or the ones whose elements aren't actually what the name implies . . . or . . . never mind.  It never ends.

  So, who's getting a Naylor auction catalog?

    I don't own a GOC but have seen a couple of them. The Anthony Eureka / GOC version being mentioned is not the same as Dan's mystery camera. These have more sophisticated Anthony style hardware: GG frame hinges and brass corners with the "fingers" that hold the ground glass.



    The mystery camera does have the Horsman x Scovill look, but with the same single piece of wood on the front as the Eureka.

    It's been a long while . . . but I think it's the other way round.  If I'm remembering this correctly (I laugh now, ha! - not likely), EA acquired Greenpoint or Green Point in the 1880s ???  After that, Greenpoint made most of the Anthony bodies, no?



    Who's got a Marder - Anthony book ?



    I had two GOCo cameras at one time, but before my digi-archives . . . don't you own at least of them?  Rob maybe the other one?

        Greenpoint Optical Company ???  Maybe GOC on the rails or underside?



      Not that I can see anywhere.....anyway, I thought Anthony made all of the GOC cameras ?



      Thanks
