Pine Bluff Semi-Weekly Graphic, 01-July-1924 |
After posting Kodak ads for more than two years, I realized that I did not know much about Kodak's early competitors. I thought I would dig in and see what I could find.
The Buckeye Camera was produced by E and HT Anthony and Company. Like the Kodak, it used flexible film.

New York's Robert H Ingersoll and Brother offered "The Famous Cyclone," another box camera, but one which used plates rather than film. The Western Camera Manufacturing Company produced the Cyclone Camera. The Cyclone Senior used larger plates than the Cyclone Junior.
Robert H Ingersoll should not be confused with orator Colonel Robert G Ingersoll, who was known as "the Great Agnostic."

"The most compact and least complicated of any in the market. All can operate it."

The Edward Malley Company, a department store, offered a variety of cameras. This gives me some ideas for future posts.

Schuneman and Evans in Saint Paul sponsored a camera contest. I am still looking for an announcement. I see that the winner was a lady. I wish the images had been reproduced more clearly.
