The Prince is a Japanese 6.5×9 folding camera taking film plates. Its name might indicate that it was made by Prince Camera Works, if the latter was indeed a camera maker.
The picture shows a regular plate folder, with a metal body, a small focusing wheel on the right of the bed and a focusing scale on the left. There is a swivelling brilliant finder attached to the lens standard and a folding frame finder, with a black rear frame hinged to the body and a metal front frame hinged to the lens standard. There does not seem to be any movement ability, and no nameplate is visible.
Here are the known lens and shutter combinations:
- Kenngott Anastigmat Vidar 10.5cm f/4.5 lens reported, Neumann & Heilemann Perfect shutter (5–150 reported);[1]
- Schneider Radionar 10.5cm f/4.5 lens, Pronto shutter (100, 50, 25).[2]
