The No. 4 Folding Buckeye Camera was manufactured by the American Camera Manufacturing Company of Rochester, New York in circa 1895 - 1908. The No. 4 folding buckeye camera was similar to the No. 4 folding buck-eye camera, except it captured larger 4 x 5 inch exposures on roll film. It was designed as a drop down single extension bellows manually pulled forward and locked into place for focus adjustment. The camera was constructed of mahogany with leather covering and a red leather bellows. Various sizes were available. It featured a double combination rapid rectilinear lens and a bucke-eye automatic shutter that is always set for instantaneous exposures, and also has time and bulb movements. Iris diaphragm stops provide 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128. Other features include a reversible brilliant finder, two tripod sockets, focusing scale. It accepted daylight loading film cartridges for 2, 4, six or twelve exposures. It could be used as a plate camera with the Glass plate attachment. The No. 4 camera measures only 2 1/4" x 5 1/8" x 8 7/8" when closed. The No. 4 Folding Buckeye Camera was priced at $12.00 in 1904.
