Anthony Catalog, February 1898, p. 7

6½x8½ Champion marked "Greenpoint Optical Co."  The Greenpoint factory was owned by E. & H.T. Anthony

Date Introduced: - ; Years Manufactured: c. 1898-1899
Construction: rear focus via push-pull; single swing; reverse by removable back; three-piece lens board
Materials: mahogany body; cherry base track; black fabric bellows; brass hardware
Sizes Offered: 4x5; 4¼x6½; 5x7; 5x8; 6½x8½; 8x10
Notes: similar to the N.P.A. camera of the period, except wood is varnished instead of French polished. Differs from  the Champion, Variation 1 by having the flat-looking spring back rather than a flip back.     To aid in the confusion, Anthony often used the same engravings for the N.P.A, O.N.A and Champion.
