The Regular Bullard Cycle Camera was manufactured by the Bullard Camera Company in circa 1901. A compact, durability and light weight camera ideally made for the tourist and wheelman, providing convenience of manipulation. It was constructed throughout with the highest grade of carefully selected mahogany. The brass parts are highly polished and heavily nickel plated. The varnished work is beautifully finished, presenting an appearance rarely seen on Hand Cameras. It was made in two sizes, a 4 x 5 inch and a 5 x 7 inch, accepting standard glass plate holders. The 4 x 5 inch camera measures only 2 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches and weighs approximately two pounds and 2 ounces. It was fitted with a Rapid Symmetrical Lens, a Rauber & Wollensack double valve pneumatic shutter with time bulb and instantaneous adjustment up to the 1/100 of a second. It also featured a rising, falling and sliding front, rack and pinion focusing adjustment, and a reversible brilliant finder. Models without rack and pinion were available upon request at a reduced cost. The Regular Bullard Cycle Cameras were priced at $20.00 4 x 5 inch and $27.00 for the 5 x 7 inch.
