In their time, only the wealthy could afford a Prevost 35mm Movie Camera--they cost as much as a house! This camera is an EARLY MODEL, only No 29! Being camera #29, imagine who actually owned this camera. Someone famous, undoubtedly.Very heavy!

This camera body is in amazing preserved condition! The metal is perfect! The movement turns over easily from the main crank shaft base! The front plate and crank is missing, but easy to manufacture at a machine shop. Then find the magazines and you have a beauty. This is a rare piece. Most often these rare cameras are not complete, so you grab them while you have the once in a lifetime chance and search for a part if needed.

Very, very heavy--like solid nickel or solid brass.
