E. & H.T. Anthony
Champion Equipment, Variation 3 (c. 1900-1906)
Date Introduced: 16 April 1900 in a paste in supplement to the 1899 catalog; Years Manufactured: 1900-c.1906
Construction: rear focus via push-pull; single swing; reverse by removable back; three-piece lensboard
Materials: mahogany body; cherry base track; black fabric bellows; brass hardware
Sizes Offered: #1.75B=5×7; #2B=5×8; #7B=6.5×8.5; #8B=8×10
Notes: similar to the NPA camera of the period, except wood is varnished instead of French polished, and the hardware is brass instead of nickeled. Even though a different design, used the same name as the model that it replaced in 1900. To aid in the confusion, Anthony often used the same engravings for the NPA, O.N.A and Champion.
