Waaaayyyy OT --Antique Camera

EKHatch · Aug 1, 2004

Picked up this antique camera for $35 at the goodwill yesterday. Best I've been able to figure is that it was made between 1895-1904. It's in working condition.

I've struck out finding out about this particular model. Anybody got ideas on how to find out?

I collect old camera's and have been looking for a red bellows for a long time.......the bellows looks kind of dry from the picture.......I am trying to find out about it, so far I found this link that might prove fruitful.......if you don't want it let me know...

Some of these links show either a picture or give a history on the Korona Camera and other names. It all centered around Rochester, N. Y.

Thanks, all of you. I've found some of these sources, and others are new to me -- most helpful. What I haven't found is a reference to my specific camera, the II E. It is very different in design than all the other Koronas I've seen pictures of. I'm pretty sure it was made between 1896 and 1902, but would love to nail that down!

Any more info, send it along, and again, thank you!

BTW, the bellows looks lousy, but I think it doesn't have any light leaks.

I suggest going to a large library and see if they have any reference books by James M. McKeown. His books are pretty much THE definitive guide, and they list values as well.

No, they're quite different. Mine is a II E. Differences are nickel-plated hardware, different shutter, different mount posts for the lens bed (mine has some front rise, the one on ebay doesn't). But thanks for finding that one.

Perhaps your camera took this picture below.
