The No. 2 Eureka was introduced in June 1897 and discontinued in 1899. It took pictures of 3.5 x 3.5 inch (9 x 9 cm) on glass plates in double plate holders. Three of these holders were stored in the back and could be reached by a side door. In the video this door can be seen on top. Plate holders could be replaced with a roll holder.
All the Eurekas are made of thin wood and not so good quality leather. The No. 2 Eureka cost $ 4, one dollar less than the Pocket Kodak. A total of 14,000 were made.
The settings are quite basic:
The No. 2 Eureka Junior is the most simple of the Eureka line and I dare say it is the most simple Kodak ever made (not counting the do-it-yourself pinhole camera kit of around 1930).
It takes pictures of 3.5 x 3.5 inch (9 x 9 cm) on glass plates in single holders. There is no door in the back, but a slit through which you could slide in the holder.
The lens is fixed focus and the rotating shutter has one speed. By pulling out a small tab you could take time exposures.
There are even three apertures on a pull out strip.
For this instrument the snapshooting photographist had to pay $ 2.50.
During its brief time of production (1898-1899) 10,000 were made.
