While I started doing this on my own, Paula has joined me… We now each post a picture every other day (or so). Still we try to keep them current, within the week of posting. Share a shot a day... The goal for anyone here should be to use this opportunity to make improvements in your photography with each daily; that is ours. We are enjoying our time in this community, and appreciate all the comments we are getting. I must say Paula is much better with commenting than I… As this gallery gets larger (older) we will be moving pictures into other galleries as appropriate, please feel free to view our work throughout this site.
10-30-2009… Old, old cameras…
The simple box camera as best I can identify it is a Kodak Hawk-eye No. 2, Model C. Kodak produced this model from 1926 to 1934. Somewhere along the line someone lost the handle and replaced it with some simple cord, I’ve left it alone.
The 3A Folding Pocket Kodak, this one is a model B-4, Eastman Kodak's first postcard format camera, was introduced in 1903 and sold until 1915. That puts this one in the ±100 year old range. This one really had some features…the lens can be adjusted up or down and right and left from the film plane. Shutter speeds of 100th, 50th, 25th of a second, Bulb and Timed, f-stops f4 to f128. An optional glass focus plate was available and an air squeeze shutter release “bulb” could be used. Sweet camera for its day…still is…
Detrola Camera, Model A; Detrola (International Detrola Corp) was a radio and record-player manufacturer, based in Detroit, Michigan. They also made a few cameras, over a very short period they were in business - 1939-40. Most were cheaply-made from Bakelite mouldings and pressed tinplate.
Have many others, but most are packed away…this will be my last of these for a while. Plan on getting them all out and posting in a gallery sometime in the future.
