Hi All,
I picked up this camera at a local antique market today. It is a model 1909 Huttig A.G. plate camera.

The interesting thing about this camera, as you will see in the photos below, is the political eagle sticker on the back of the camera.

I’m fairly confident that this is not an authentic sticker however I’m not very knowledgeable in this area. The sticker appears to have been hand cut as evident by the uneven edges. Also, by the 30’s and 40’s, camera’s had advanced beyond this style of camera, so it would seem odd that this would have been used in an official manner as there were far superior camera’s available.

If anyone can help in determining if this is authentic, or post war fantasy, I would appreciate it. The person selling it wasn’t trying to pass it off as TR item so I don’t have a whole lot invested into it ($20 - Which is a little above what most of these antique cameras will go for). With that said, feel free to be blunt with me.

Thanks in advance!
