Houghton Ensign Cinematograph Tropen (Tropical)

{"overview":"The Ensign Cinematograph Tropen (Tropical) is an early hand-cranked cine camera sold under the Ensign name by the British maker Houghton. Because this is a wholesale saleroom result rather than a dealer asking price, retail values for a comparable example would typically sit higher, and condition of the woodwork, brasswork and mechanism will move the price materially in either direction.","buying_guide":"On any tropical-finish cine camera, inspect the teak panels for cracks, shrinkage and missing veneer, and check the brass fittings for corrosion and loose screws.
