Lovely! If the shutter works you could adapt 120 film to fit it and it could take amazing 6x14 panoramic negatives, no other camera except some extremely expensive ones can do that
Try black leather dye for shoes ... swab it lightly on all the external leather covered parts, let it dry, buff it out. Then treat with Lexol or similar automotive leather care product. BEWARE that leather dye also dies human fingers .... !
Hi! Not in this particular camera. It was a common problem in cameras of this type, but none of the ones I own have any damages aside from scuff marks or discoloration. Thanks for asking!
@@mikailanicole yeah ofc I have a kodak jiffy series 2 the camera was in bad shape, fixed all the body issues and I'm just stuck on trying to figure out how fix the bellow to reseal them
@@copyright2024 While I've never done it, I've read that people will use a bit of black electrical tape on the inside of the bellows to patch the holes. That's less of a permanent option, though! If it's pinholes, you can make a mixture of Elmer's Glue and bellows blacking, paint it over the entirety of the interior, and let dry before closing. Bigger holes can be done using thicker black paint like Liquitex and the Elmer's Glue method. And for big, big holes... people will put a pin through the outside of the hole, and then place a dab of black silicone on the end of the pin that's inside the bellows. Then, they slowly pull the pin out from the outside to pull the silicone through the hole. And let dry, of course. Bostick and Sullivan also make a bellows repair kit! Sorry that was an entire novel (lol) but hopefully that helps! I haven't tried any of those methods so I can't tell you if they work or not, but hopefully that's helpful! (Now I need to go find one with bad bellows so I can test some stuff out!)
Hey no worries I appreciate the tips I'll give them a try, I've tried liquid electric tape but I found it a lil too thick to spread. mine doesn't have big holes it's just pin holes all over, I was basically trying to paint the whole thing with the liquid tape( not advisable)🤣
Hi! This is the site I referenced in this video, though I'm not sure that it entirely works for this early of a camera. I usually do some research around the patent numbers, when the camera came out and stopped production, etc to date my cameras now. www.brownie-camera.com/manufacturedate.shtml
It's good to see people discovering camera collecting. Your camera looks amazing. I have the same model found at a junk shop. Someone ripped the leather off on the front and did not know about the button to open it. It does have a metal stamp from the camera distributor back in the day stamped on the side. Enjoy every bit of this its an amazing hobby.
Excellent ! nice work, will be fun to shoot with once you adapt it to 120 or plates, neat stuff!
Great video, I grabbed a few of these and a 1913 JCA - Zeiss - mini cam... But where are your photo results from the great job?

I am looking into adapting film! Hopefully that will be a video I make in the relative-near future. Thanks for watching!
I'm a kodac collector aswell about the same age as you I think . I have 30 some cameras
Can you provide a link to the clothes? I can’t see them on amazon.

Hey I had a question about the camera? Were there any light leaks in the bellows?

@@copyright2024 I'm interested to see how it turns out for you! If you think to, keep me posted if you find something that works well!
What is/was the film size? It looks about 122.
It used A122 roll film and took photos that were about 3 1/4” by 5 1/2”.
@@mikailanicole Thanks. 122 went out about 1970, didn't it?
@@Sennmut Yes, 1971 I think! They sell adapters for a lot of retired film sizes though.

What website did you use to date it based on the serial number?
