Question
My professional photographer grandfather left my 83 year old mother a camera that I cannot find and would like to know its value.  It is a Montgomery Ward & Co. Chicago View with an Alphax Syncromatic Wollensak Rochester NY lens...
This camera is on a very large and heavy stand with wheels.  All are in perfect condition.  I hope you can help.

Answer
Marlane,
I've never heard of your camera, and could find no listing of values.  However, I did find these pages which show cameras branded by Montgomery Ward.  Hope this is a help with any research you may do.

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.

Experience

I'm an "expert" under photography. I've many years experience in photo retail.John and Chris
