Eastman View No. 2 Field Camera "Improved Model of Century View and Empire State No. 2" Manufactured by Eastman Kodak Co. Rochester, N.Y.
This is a antique Eastman View No. 2 camera that is in Great Display Condition for being over 100 years old...******ADDED ON JUNE 11, 2019-- I was asked to do a flashlight test on the bellows so here is my findings.*****I actually used a very powerful spotlight and did the test you asked in a very dark room:I am happy to say that there was ZERO light ...showing thru on all sides.The insides of the bellows are in Excellent Plus condition.-******* This camera has not been tested and I am not sure of its working order....I am not really sure what all the brass dials do but they all seem to be in working order..This camera and tripod have some scratches and scuffs across much of the body.. *****Please check out the photos for true condition..*****I think it is in great shape considering that it is over a hundred years old.... The bellows are very flexible and look to be in great shape, there are no holes, or other issues... The ground glass measures approx. 5"x7" and looks to be in poor condition...It comes with everything that are in the pictures..The film box shown does have something in it- it is wrapped up in a foil material. I am not sure if the black cloth is original but it was in the box when purchased at estate.The tripod stands approx.37" tall and approx. 55" tall when fully extended..All of this weighs right at 15 pounds plus packaging--I will ship in an oversize box, properly wrapped and protected to insure save arrival.
