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 Sun, 09-July-1899

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."

Take a Kodak with You -- February 20, 2024

Grand Forks Gazette, 01-February-1924

I have my grandfather's Kodak 1-A, which looks much like the one in this ad. I don't have the rubber bulb. I took it to the branch of Adolph Gasser's store on Geary and discussed it with an old clerk. He said they could probably cut some film for it, but he wasn't sure the bellows were light tight. I might pursue that again one day.
