The Star No. 4 magazine hand camera was manufactured by the Marion & Company of London, in circa 1904. This box camera featured a door on the front to gain access to the lens assembly. This camera was similar to the Star No. 3 expect that it was fitted with a Beck double aplanat f7.7 lens and a Baush & Lomb "Unicum" time and instantaneous shutter with speeds ranging from 1/25 to 1/100 of a second and it was covered in real morocco leather. It featured a "Cornex" index, two brilliant view finders combined with tubular levels, three magnifiers which slide along the inside of the front door, dust cover, and a special safety mechanism with safety spring catch so that it is impossible to accidentally expose a plate and a superior finish. The magazine carried twelve quarter plates, housed in metal sheaths. The Star No. 4 magazine hand camera was priced at 84 shillings.
