Period

This camera was used by the owner from 1951 to the 1980's.

Canada

Used by a Canadian photojournalist to capture industrial photographs and press photographs for the 'Monetary Times', the 'Globe and Mail' and for various international associations.

Function

Used to secure a filter over a lens on a still camera.

Technical

All six of the Pacemaker Graphic Cameras were generally designed and constructed the same way. The Crown and the Speed differ in the fact that the Crown lacks a focal plane shutter that is found only on the Speed model. Later becoming an international standard for 4x5 cameras, the Crown Graphic was the first camera to have a Graflock back. The Crown was one of the most light weight 4x5 cameras of that time. It was extremely popular with the news photography market of the mid-1900's because of its ruggedness, durability, quality and light weight.
