 My family and I wish to extend our deepest condolences to the families of those who have fallen in and around combat. No matter what your opinion of the war in Iraq, there can be absolutely no doubt as to the honor and bravery of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in service to our great Nation.

 Let us not forget the REAL cost of war... their precious lives!

Our humble gratitude goes also to those of you that are currently serving and face danger every single day, stay safe, and return home to your family and loved ones soon.

Thank you for your interest.


KODAK WOOD FOLDING BOX CAMERA CYCLONE NO.3 ANTIQUE OLD

Up for your consideration is this antique wood box Kodak Cyclone NO.3 camera.


FEATURES: This camera features a solid wooden case covered in leather and a slide out bellows and may require a glass (?) film slide. I have very little technical knowledge of this camera so I took lots of pictures. I can tell you that I recently saw a camera almost identical to this sell on eBay in July of 08' for over 600 dollars.  I will continue to reduce the price every time it gets re-listed - until it is sold, and I will bet that before Christmas of 09 it will be sold. Just below the front lens there is a silver plate and it says " The Wizard Manhattan Optical Company NY Cresskill, NJ." There seems to be either a timer or shutter lever that also seems to be okay as well.

COLOR: Leather cover was originally black

PRODUCT TYPE: Wood box bellow type antique camera

MODEL# : Folding Cyclone #3

SIZE: 7 X 5 X 6

MATERIAL: Hardwood & Leather with various solid brass components

COUNTRY: USA

CONDITION: Of course with anything this age, there are going to be some flaws that is why I took a lot of pictures. However you can see that the leather cover has severely dried and is coming loose from some places on the box. In fact, the handle is now in 2 pieces and there are many sections of the leather missing from the outside of the oak box.However the inside is in much, much better condition. There is some damage to the outer case on the front fold down left edge. The back flap does not latch/lock closed properly either.

BACKGROUND: The person I got it from (a very old man that lived in Grayslake Illinois) said it had been in his closet for over 40 years. He had got it on a remodeling job from an old camera shop in the downtown section of Chicago as a young man.

SHIPPING WEIGHT: 4 lb

CIRCA: Early 1900's

You really like the thing, but not so much the price;

Just so everyone knows and it is fair to all, here is our approach to listing: I find cool stuff, do some research and list it for what I think it's worth. Sounds pretty simple but sometimes I get it wrong. So if this is something you are really interested in but it's a bit more than you hoped, then email me and ask me to add a "Best Offer" I'll accept it if I can but if we can't find common ground there, be sure to click the "WATCH THIS ITEM" button, because if this ends without a sale, I will DROP the price and re-list it. And I will continue to drop the price each and every time until it does sell, sort of like a reverse auction. Now I know some people would say, well that's just stupid to tell people if it doesn't sell you will drop the price, they'll just wait til you re-list it, but other people will have the same idea too. I believe in our free market economy and I know a thing is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, not what some price guide or appraiser says. I am sure of 3 things, 1) if you watch this you (or someone else) will get a better bargain, and 2) I may not get as much as I would like but, 3) more "things" will end up with the people that really want that "thing". In the long run, better for both of us. Just remember other people are watching for a bargain too! email and let me know what you think. brndell@gmail.com I'd be glad to hear your thoughts. This does not apply to new items. Oh and if you think this is priced too low, feel free to offer a bit more :-) Brian
