Eureka and Zenith cameras

During the later years of the 1890's a lot of small firms produced cheap and simple plate cameras. It was a field not protected by patents, as was the case with roll film cameras, which made it easy to start manufacturing simple cameras. These cheap instruments were sold to the growing number of amateur photographers.
To compete with all these plate cameras Eastman Kodak did put their own model on the market: the Eureka cameras. There are several sizes, but all are cheap and simple.
The models are:
No. 2 Eureka
No. 2 Eureka Junior
No. 4 Eureka
No. 3 Zenith and No. 4 Zenith for the UK market

9 x 12 Zenith for the continental European market
