For your consideration is this circa 1930 Eastman Kodak Cine Kodak Motion Picture Film Camera with a custom fabricated hardwood shoulder mount support stock and vintage sight viewfinder finder made by Lyman.
This rare camera support was custom made to be used ONLY as a camera support and was never part of any weapon.
The camera is in a wonderful state with the factory original Oxblood Brown leather covered body in pristine condition.
This is an extremely rare example, beautifully preserved and unrestored.
The camera runs nicely and has a partially filmed 100' reel of undeveloped film still inside of it.
Who can guess what sportsman's treasures were captured on this original film. The film is vintage black and white and probably dates back to the 30’s as well.
The 4.5” telephoto Kodak lens is 100% original and has a tight focus needing some lubrication.
These cameras were used for sports and wild animal cinematography back in the 1930’s where a solid stable shoulder support was needed for hand held filming of flying birds, car racing or running game and dogs in the field.
Sold as an accurate and beautiful wall sculpture display item for either Cinema Vintage Equipment collectors or hunters or armament collectors.
Makes a great library, trophy room, office decorative display or collection piece.
A true, one of a kind, Hollywood filmmaking / sporting artifact.
As with all of our pieces, a signed and sealed "Certificate of Authenticity”, suitable for framing, is included with your purchase.
NOTE: Our selling prices are usually pre discounted
and intended to be at ‘Designer Net’
and ‘To The Trade’ price levels.
However, we ALWAYS welcome discussions and exploration
of your budgetary requirements
and how we MAY be able to help meet those cost targets
with additional discounts or courtesies.
~Like artifacts of an ancient civilization -
these rare legends
of early Motion Picture and related
production equipment technology -
have a secure and appreciating
place in history.~
