Photographic Lenses, Cameras and Supplies Manhattan Optical Co. operated semi-successfully from 1892 to 1902, when it merged with Gundlach Optical Co. to become Gundlach-Manhattan Optical Co. This catalog was apparently printed just before one of its re-organizations in 1897. The catalog contains mainly leather-covered cameras and one lone wooden view camera, the Manhattan Tripod Camera, which, to my knowledge, has never been seen.
