Description from the seller
Up for auction is an imposing, historic and fascinating early-century bellows camera: the No. 3A Autographic Kodak Model C, produced in the United States by Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester between 1914 and 1924.
The lot presents in good overall condition, with normal signs of wear and preservation consistent with the object's centenarian age.
Optics: The instrument is equipped with its original Eastman Kodak lens paired with the central shutter. The lenses appear in good overall visual condition, consistent with the description of a well-preserved specimen from the period.
Mechanical: The lot appears mechanically functional. The central mechanical shutter responds to manual commands, clicking regularly at the adjustable speeds.
Aesthetics: Good overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The metal case retains its original black leatherette covering, showing natural surface wear and the charm of time gone by. The chrome metal finishes maintain solid structural integrity, while the brass front of the optical assembly shows a beautiful and intact vintage patina. The horizontally folding bellows, in dark material, presents as geometrically compact and free of obvious structural sagging.
Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally super-protective packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
