INformation on a Marion Co. Ltd. camera

I have a Marion and Co. Ltd camera that was purchased in London, England between 1911 and 1921. The tag on the camera states "Marion E. Co. Ltd London W."

On the side it states "Kershaw's Patent" and there appears to be a serial number M116.

The lens is a Taylor, Taylor and Hobson of Leicester, London and New York. The lens also reads "Cooke lens H. D. with Taylor's patents Series IV # 22394- 5"X4" EQ Focus 6.2" The lens was sold by the Service Co. Ltd, 293 High Holborn, London WF".

If anyone has any knowledge of this camera and the possible value it would be very much appreciated.

There are two photos of the camera below. Thank you for your interest.

Hi Peter
welcome onboard OPF!
There are many old cameras lovers here!

Thanks for posting your images, but we can't see them! you have to upload them first on a web server as we do not have access (and that's a good news for you ;-) to your hard drive!

Peter,

I'm dying to see your antique camera! I have several myself. Load them on Flikr or Smugmug or other such free server. I can't even see into your room right now, the link is not working, never mind getting to your hard drive, LOL!

Asher: I am technically inept. As a result I do not know how to load them on Flikr or Smugmug. I do know how to forward them by E mail and if you have an E mail address I could forward the photos that way.

Thank You
Peter O'Brien

Nicolas I do not have the ability to do you ask. If you forward an E mail address I am able to forward the pictures to you.
