This camera was made by Eastman Dry Plate & Film Co. which would later become Kodak. The camera would have been sold by Sam C Partridge and is engraved in three places with “Partridge San Fransico”. The triplex shutter opens and closes if forced manually, but it is very stiff and will not open with the pneumatic release. Bellows are brittle and have some pinholes.
