Eastman Kodak made two wooden-bodied jumelle cameras in about 1896. These were apparently exported to England and France.[1] The wooden body has a shallow box-section at the back, and a front section which tapers in both dimensions toward the front board. Other than this shape, they are essentially simple box cameras for roll film. McKeown lists two models: he states that 1000 of the No. 1 camera and 500 of the No. 2 appear to have been made.
- No. 1 Cone Pocket Kodak; the smaller of the two, though the actual size is not clear.[2]
- No. 2 Cone Kodak, taking 2¼x3¼-inch exposures on size 105 roll film.[1]
