Houghton Klito 3¼" x 4¼" Box Camera - Custom Walnut Restored Edition (c. 1905) Box camera

The Houghton Klito 3¼" x 4¼" Box Camera from circa 1905 is an impressive example of early 20th-century photography equipment. Box cameras were among the simplest and most affordable cameras available to the general public at that time, consisting of a box-shaped body with a fixed-focus lens and a single shutter speed. Utilizing medium format film or plates measuring approximately 3¼ by 4¼ inches, this camera would have produced relatively high-resolution negatives compared to smaller formats. The restored edition featuring custom walnut casing enhances its aesthetic and collectible value, showcasing craftsmanship and timeless design. Such cameras document the transition from photography as a technical profession toward widespread amateur use, marking an important era in photographic history.
