[BCMA] table id?

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello,

Ansco made photography equipment and this appears to be a stand for a  
large format camera.   The wooden camera would sit flat on the felt  
surface and the table would adjust for tilt.

Here's a link to an ad for an E & HT Anthony & Co. camera (later the  
'An' in Ansco) described as a 'process' camera on a very similar stand.

Look for a really big camera in your collection!
