CUSTOM, ONE-OF-A-KIND 110-124-year-old Antique Kodak No. 2 Flexo c. 1899-1913, completely refinished with a new Padauk veneer covering. The camera originally took 12, 3 ½˝ x 3 ½˝ exposures on 101 rollfilm, with its most unusual feature being that the sides and back come completely off after disengaging and lowering the faceplate for loading and were held together only by the fabric hinges and leather covering. (This example is rarer, in that all 3 original fabric hinges were still intact). All fittings have been polished, viewfinder is cloudy, achromatic lens is clear, haze and fungus free with no balsam separation, shutter is operational but slow. Customized with a real wood Padauk veneer, this camera is a one-of-a-kind creation, perfect for display in any camera collection or gift for the avid camera collector!
Camera measures approx. 6˝ x 4 ½˝ x 5˝.
