Red Bellows Cameras
Pony Premo No.6
An Eastman Kodak camera with no Kodak branding, this Pony Premo No.6 is a 4x5 large format camera with a ton of then-premium features and movements. Made between 1903 and 1906, this camera is at least 120 years old today, and feels like it could go shoot photos just as easily as when it was made.
Kodak No. 3-A Folding Pocket Kodak Model B-3
These cameras are much bigger than the "Folding Pocket Kodak" name might suggest, in part because they were designed to produce 3-1/2 by 5 inch negatives on roll film so that contact prints could be made without enlargement. This one was made between 1904 and 1906, and would still be usable if the film were available (it does need a replacement for the red film window on the back).
Kodak No. 3-A Folding Pocket Kodak Model C
This slightly later Folding Pocket Kodak was made between 1912 and 1915. The more complex shutter would have been a boon to photographers at the time, but now it would need a thorough servicing before becoming usable again.
Conley Model XV Long Focus Revolving Back
This 4x5 large format camera was made between 1909 and 1918 by the Conley Camera Company of Rochester, Minnesota (as opposed to the many other camera companies of Rochester, New York including Kodak). This one has a small split in the top of the bellows at one point, and the latch button has seen better days. Long extension and plenty of movements made this a very capable camera at the time.
