A c1910 Emerald camera – click name plate to see complete camera
Toronto. And a fine St Pattie’s day to you too! On this lovely Monday, we share a tale from our friend and past president, author, sports photographer, collector, etc., etc., Les Jones.
I received an email from Les asking if we had more goods on the old Eaton Emerald camera. Les says, “Knew Emerald roll film cameras existed as they feature in early catalogues and ads but had never seen one in 40 years of collecting.
“Available in various sizes, this one is similar to the #2 folding Teco [T Eaton Co] (original price $5) and possibly identical, apart from the nameplate. 2-1/4 x 3-1/4, f/11-f/45, I, B & T. Around 1910?
“Anyone know more details, production numbers etc.?”
If you can help Les out, drop him a note via info@phsc.ca.
