    Description

    Eastman Kodak Co. No.2 Brownie Camera with original box, manual and price tag. This is an attic find from my families estate. What makes this find unique besides having the original box was upon opening it to find the original manual and price tag (.75). Not totally surprised though in that going through other attic finds, other items had price tags and original packaging intact as well.  Photos hopefully provide the details for this early camera. I have not attempted to clean the camera surfaces so as to not jeopardize its preserved condition. Box is intact but does have some normal wear from its age.
    ONE-OF-A-KIND 122-year-old Antique Custom Adlake (Adams & Westlake) Regular c. 1898, Manual plate changing camera, completely refinished with a new Pommele Eucalyptus veneer covering (
    Due to natural imperfections in the veneer, there a several small cracks in the wood on the bottom of the camera, that will not be visible when displayed on a shelf).
    Although it looks like a magazine camera, it holds up to 12 steel plateholders inside the top door compartment behind the focal plane. These plateholders are manually inserted into a slot behind the focal plane and the top door is closed. The lever on the side of the camera under the handle opens the front of the plateholder for exposure. Made in 3 ¼ʺ x 4 ¼ʺ and 4ʺ x 5ʺ sizes, this camera uses the larger 4ʺ x 5ʺ size plates (8 plates included, consecutively numbered). Viewfinders are clear, shutter is operational, but the shutter blades might occasionally stick. Customized with a Pommele Eucalyptus veneer covering and polished hardware, this camera is a one-of-a-kind creation, perfect for display in any camera collection or gift for the avid camera collector!
    This custom antique Camera will ship insured and will come with a gift bag and an artist certificate of authenticity.
    There is no warranty on operability; cameras are intended for display purposes only.
    Think about this wonderful antique camera for your own collection or as a gift for that special photographer/camera enthusiast for the holidays or any special occasion.
