Huttig Gnom / Aviso / 6x4.5 Drop Plate Camera very nice, Rare, VGC

A rare and interesting little box camera.

In excellent condition for the age and type (around Exc+ or better_

This is unidentified but is a Huttig camera, Either a Gnom or an Aviso.

(the Aviso replaced the Gnom, but with no apparent differences)

The camera was continued under the Ica brand following a merger in 1909.

This is not the Ica version as I have seen one and it was embossed with the Ica logo.

It was also sold in the UK by Butcher's as "The Little Nipper"

C.1903-1907.

It is a plate camera and accepts six holders internally, which can be manipulated with a lever on top.

This allows for six exposures on glass plates per loading.

The camera is very uncommon, and this is a very good, complete example, having three of the original plate carriers, and it's original clip on finder and lens cap.

The (non-capping) shutter still works correctly.

An excellent choice for a collector's camera
