From Henry Werner, Waseca Architect. It was fitted with a fix focus, first grade meniscus lens with an automatic shutter for time or instantaneous exposures. The Seneca Scout box camera was constructed of wood and metal so that it would be strong, light quick and complete. It featured an easy load film chamber that was removed by releasing the catches that hold the chamber in place. Once removed film was easy loaded and the chamber returned to the camera where the catches would lock the chamber in place. Priced at $2.00 and $3.00.Cataloged By
