Rare antique Vive Camera No. 4, manufactured by the Vive Camera Company of Chicago in the late 1890s. This large format box-style camera was designed for 4×5 glass plate photography and features its original pull-out focusing hood with cloth sleeve, ground glass screen, and leatherette exterior. A remarkable survivor from the 19th century, this Vive No. 4 is a highly collectible piece of photographic history. Perfect for serious camera collectors, antique display, or museums preserving early American photography equipment. Displays wear consistent with age: scuffs, edge wear, leather handle deterioration, and fraying to the focusing hood. Please review pictures for details. Does not work.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
