What it is
{"overview":"The Rochester Stereo is a stereoscopic plate camera from the Rochester Camera Mfg. Co., a late-19th-century American maker based in Rochester, New York. Buyers asking what a Rochester Stereo is worth today should treat that figure as indicative rather than a benchmark, since condition of the bellows, woodwork and lenses materially shifts what the camera sells for.","buying_guide":"On any wooden stereo of this vintage, inspect the bellows for pinholes and corner splits, check that both lens cells are present and matched, and confirm the shutter (if fitted) still actuates on both sides.

Questions
Is the Rochester Stereo a usable camera?
It is a plate-format stereoscopic camera, so practical use today requires sheet-film or plate adapters and intact bellows; most examples are bought for display and collection rather than active shooting.
