Frank Jay Haynes Original Yellowstone Park Camera
Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
circa early 1900s
The lot includes the original late-19th century Haynes Studio marked tripod and circa early 1900s Haynes Studio marked camera, which appears to be a Conley large format with long bellows.
The Conley Camera Company was founded in 1899 by brothers Kerry and Frederick Conley in Spring Valley, Minnesota. Both the camera and the tripod bear the original F.J. Haynes brass tags, correctly found on his cameras. This camera from circa 1900-1912 is likely a variation model of the Model No. 1 Conley View Camera, Model BS Conley View Camera or Model B.W. View Camera and shows a Conley Safety early shutter, long or long-draw bellows, cherry or mahogany case in an 8x10 large format.
