Is there a market for Large format film cameras, or do I have a beautiful expensive doorstop?

Well if it has Gandolfi on it you'll do OK!

Film size? Make? Age?

There's a market, but old cameras are like old cars - whether it's a desirable collectable or door-stop depends on:
- Make
- Model*
- Age
- Condition

  • and like cars the combination of options and trim within a model can make a big difference to value

It's a Zone vi 4x5 Land camera. Plaque on front says " Made by Zone vi Studios, Vermont" Has gold plated brass fittings. Not sure of the wood, American Cherry maybe?

Not used by me at all. The person I inherited it from used it a few times. Perfect condition.

Have five camera backs, bellows perfect.
Also have lenses, I'll have to look for the list of what they are.
Hope that helps.
