Lot Essay

The Walking Stick tripod was first advertised from 1922. It was designed as both a walking stick and for photographic use. 'It is very quickly opened for use, or collapsed for carrying. Adjustable for varying heights, it can be instantly locked at any position. A tie-rod runs through the tripod head, which is fitted with a clamp screw on stem'. It sold for £3 10 0. A new and improved model was offered from 1923 with a crook handle (seen here) at a reduced price of £3 5 0.
