hilander Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi Wendy, I have a 4x5 that looks alot like the second camera you are asking about. It's labeled "Conley" and the only info I could find on it said that it was also a Sears & Roebuck branded camera. The lens on mine is a triple convertable, labeled Conley, but made by Wollensak. The camera is from the early 1900's as well. It's a fun camera to play arounfd with. I'll see if I have a picture of mine handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendy_stewart Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Conley was the company that manufactured them and the cameras was sold through different companies. Mainly Sears company. They were produced 1901 era. That's as far as I've gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_campbell Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 There used to be a few Seneca sites out there. Try Googling the words Seneca and improved.

wendy_stewart Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Sorry have the name incorrect. The second on is actually Seroco Camera. They are slightly different. Mine has leather and the others have wood frames and this site has very little info. Not a very helpful site. :( http://www.fiberq.com/cam/seneca/sennew.htm Thanks anyhow for the info.

glenn_thoreson Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Seroco is an acronym for Sears Roebuck & Co. It's their private label brand for cameras made by many different manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
