Description
A large, black leather bound square folding camera from Eastman Kodak Co. The camera when folded looks like a leather case with a leather handle attached at the top with two large metal buttons. One of the shorter sides features varying mechanisms to make adjustments to the camera. At the top is rectangular shaped metal plate with a knob that can be twisted and will make a clicking noise with a engraved arrowed to indicate turn the knob counter-clockwise, underneath is a l-shaped leaver that has a minor turn radius with an “M” engraved on the one arm. In the middle is a gold metal knob that can be pushed away from the case to open the one side and reveal the camera. Near the knob is a metal plate that reads “SPEED GRAPHIC CURTAIN APERTURE”, a graph with numbers, and “FOLMER & SCHWING DIVISION” “EASTMAN KODAK CO.” “13476 ROCHESTER, N.Y.” At the bottom is another square-shaped plate with a knob that can be turned that corresponds to numbers in a small black circle in the plate. On the top of the case is a white sticker with blue numbers “68622”. On the back of the case is a section for film holders/double dark slides and a glass plate behind a piece of the case that opens with a clasp at the bottom of the square. The other short side features small metal circles and a hole for a screw - most likely for a tripod mount. The front of the case is flat. When the case is opened it reveals the folded camera with black bellows and a silver metal face with a Wollensak Betax No.3 lens. It moves on a track to extend and retract with a mechanism in the front that when pinch together allows for the movement of the camera. There is a partially ripped sticker on the wood panel that reads “Sales - Service - Repairs” “Camera & Instrument Crafts” “9452 Calgary, Alta.” One side of the panel also features a black plate with numbers for focal range.

Description
One box of a dozen 9x12cm Eastman Commercial Panchromatic Films - unopened. The box has a large paper label on the lid containing the manufacturer and development details throughout, as well as “9.80” written in pencil at the top. The edges and bottom of the box are sealed with brown paper adhesive tape, the right-hand side is stamped with “DEVELOP BEFORE APRIL 1923.”Panchromatic film is a kind of black-and-white emulsion that is sensitive to all visible light wavelengths and creates realistic photographs - it could also be used successfully for colour and black-and-white motion pictures as early as 1913. One downside to panchromatic film was that it had to be developed in complete darkness as it was sensitive to the red lights standard in many darkrooms.
