Just a test

I no longer have my pro camera gear (retired). Now I use a Sony RX10 or an old Olympus, both of which have  pretty fair macro settings. So this is with the Sony. Sent to my phone. Just testing resolution etc. Please ignore studio itself. I was just playing with the camera.

HAHA!! No. That is why I am here. My collection was inherited from my grandparents' estate in West Virginia. They date from, I assume, early 1950s to possibly the turn of the century.

I think Master or maybe Akro for maker.  Leaning Master now but a view of the opposite end could change things.

For what it's worth, a gray non-textured background is usually what worked best for me (and my clunker of a 5MP Kodak, lol)

Indeed. This was just a test. I usually use a neutral or simple background
