It features a rising front, spirit level, focusing scale, two tripod sockets, and a reversible brilliant viewfinder. The camera was easy to use because of its easy erecting shelf and bed, just like the original No. 1.  This camera and the earlier No. 1-3 cameras, were popular during WW1, as they would easily fit into the jacket pocket. 

    This camera is in good condition with some patina, as shown in my many pictures. The lens pulls out and pushes back easily, with care to transition from camera to bed slide.  The nickel finish around the lens and the lettering is very nice.   The leather covering is very good, all over.  However, the bellows have lost all their black covering / paint.  Therefore, there are some pin holes.

     Mechanically, the camera is very good. The shutter works at all 3 speeds, and the red lens good.  The stand is very good, and the extra take-up spool is present.  The nickel coating around the lens is brilliant with very little wear, as shown.  The lettering around the lens is also nice, as shown.  The brilliant viewfinder is very good. The carrying handle is also nice looking.  The lenses are all reasonably clean, inside and out.  

     Original patents were granted in 1898, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1910, & 1914.  The camera is a larger one, measuring 9 1/2" long when folded up.  It was advertised as a compact camera that could be carried in a top coat pocket.

    For being over 110 years old, this camera's condition is not expected.

    Shipping for this camera will be only $9.00 anywhere in the U.S. for 2-4 day Priority mail.
