Description from the seller
Splendid Kodak Eastman No. 4 Cartridge Camera Model E, one of the most iconic bellows cameras produced by Eastman Kodak between the late 19th century and the early 20th century. The model was marketed from 1897 to 1907 and is today highly sought after by collectors of historical photography.
This version is particularly interesting because it has an original red leather bellows, a variant considerably less common than the more widespread black or brown bellows, which makes it even more fascinating and exclusive for a collection.
Aesthetic condition
* Excellent overall condition for its age.
* Exterior covering well preserved.
* Red bellows in excellent visual condition.
* Normal signs of wear consistent with an antique item.
Optics
* Lens in good condition.
* No visible haze.
* No mold.
* No lens separation.
* Normal presence of slight internal dust due to age.
Viewfinder
* In good condition.
* Slight pinpointing on the mirror, typical of the era.
Shutter and mechanics
* Shutter functioning.
* Regular opening and closing of the bellows.
* The main mechanical parts are operational.
Dimensions
* Approximately 21 × 16 × 9 cm
A beautiful display piece, ideal for collectors of antique cameras, enthusiasts of analog photography, or as a vintage-charm decorative element.
