Lancaster & Sons - Le Merveilleux -1886

Produced in England,  Birmingham,, the 1st model were presented on the year of 1886 .
This one is probably one of the 1st serie. Imported from England to Portugal by the trader J.J.Ribeiro , from Lisboa, probably changed the front label to their own name. However all stamps from Lancaster & Sons are visible.
I've found it last week during my holidays in Oporto, in very poor condition. After  3 nights of work this beautiful camera is ready for a second life.
