Kodak No. 1 Box Camera 1889-1895


From Camerapedia: \"The Kodak was George Eastman\'s legendary first rollfilm camera bearing the new brand name \"Kodak\", patented and introduced in 1888. It used Eastman stripping negative film. The Kodak No. 1 of 1889 resembled the Kodak, but featured a more sophisticated shutter. It was available for Eastman stripping negative film or Eastman transparent film.


In use, the shutter was set by pulling a string; the camera was sighted by looking along a V-shape on the top of the camera. The shutter was tripped by pressing a button on the camera\'s side. After exposure, the key was used to wind the film to the next frame. The film moved past a shaft, rotating it, which caused a pointer visible on the top of the camera to rotate, so the photographer could be sure of advancing the correct amount of film. Once one hundred pictures had been taken, the user sent the whole camera back to Kodak for film processing and reloading - at a cost of $10[1]. A hundred round negatives with a diameter of 65mm came from each roll of Eastman American Film. The round image was a design decision, partly as a way of ensuring that the photographer didn\'t have to hold the camera exactly level with the horizon, and partly to compensate for the poor image quality at the corners of the image. These first Kodak cameras were designed by George Eastman in collaboration with a cabinetmaker, Frank A. Brownell, who set up the production line at Eastman\'s factory. They are beautifully built, with box joints and strong leather covering.\"

This is a beautiful example of this rare camera. It appears complete and in fantastic condition. Leather has a wonderful, warm patina to the leather. Lens is nice and shutter works fine. I cant verify 100% if the string is original or not. It looks original.


Serial # 10321 which indicates fairly early example. These are fairly rare particularly in this beautiful condition. Really a fine specimin worthy of any Kodak Collection.
