No5 Cartridge Kodak
"I
came across an old No5 Cartridge Kodak camera with the
name plate of 'E Lennie,
Optician, Edinburgh'.
 ©
This model
was manufactured from 1898 to 1907. It used both
roll film and 5x7 plate holders, and was the largest
daylight- loading Kodak roll film camera.
This one has a metal front not wooden so I can assume it was the
Model E from 1901 to 1907." |

Restoration
"The camera
was in a lot of stress and was a candidate for the
rubbish tip.
©
I have
restored the
camera except for the
lens/shutter assembly which I am
on the lookout for."
