Kodak No. 2 Folding Bulls-Eye (1899–1901)
The Kodak No. 2 Folding Bulls-Eye is a folding camera made from 1899 until 1901, per The Kodak Camera List. It belonged to Kodak's Folding Bulls-Eye series. At least one surviving example is identified by its seller as a "1st Version," which suggests early production runs differed from later ones. How they differed is not well documented.
The record is sparse but specific. The camera uses 101 format roll film, and its original price was 10 - the currency isn't specified in the surviving source. It was manufactured in the United States. Beyond that, documentation is thin. No lens, shutter, aperture or focusing specifications have surfaced, and no dimensions or weight are recorded.
The No. 2 Folding Bulls-Eye turns up occasionally in resale listings. One example on 2dehands.be was offered at €160, described as a "Rare no 2 folding bull's eye kodak-camera." Another surfaced at approximately €53.71 with condition noted simply as "not specified." Whether those listings refer to the same example or different ones isn't clear.
